It is a large area to cover on foot, many, many blocks, but do it. It is a great experience. Discover all the buildings, churchs, palaces, convents, houses, restaurants, parks and all. Great experience.

This area is much more interesting than Miraflores ...it's more authentic and has more character ...u should go to the metropolitan museum.

The temperature difference is very dramatic between the... More

Lima surprised me, its so beautiful! It probably helped that it was a sunny day, but the arquitecture is stunning. Whats more, everyone i spoke to locals or tourist guides were so helpful. The San Francisco monastery is a must, but take your student card if you have one! The Casa de la literature peruana was interesting, and free entry... More
