After experiencing Machu Picchu, it’ll be hard to top that in terms of things to see….Lima didn’t even come close!!….We decided to venture back to Lima for a few days  after Cusco and Machu Picchu since we didn’t get to see much (just the airport) on our way through the first time….a 90 minute flight later, we were back at Lima airport in a cab heading towards Miraflores ( where our Hostel was)….Lima is the capital and largest city of Peru. It is located in the valleys of the Chillón, Rímac and Lurín rivers, in the central part of the country, on a desert coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Together with the seaport of Callao, it forms a contiguous urban area known as the Lima Metropolitan Area. With a population fast approaching 9 million, Lima is the fifth largest city in Latin America, behind Mexico City, São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. Miraflores is a district of the Lima. Known for its shopping areas, gardens, flower-filled parks and beaches, it is one of the upscale districts that make up the city of Lima. The district is full of hotels, cafés, pubs, restaurants and shops, which is a draw for a large part of the Lima population on Sundays. Parque Kennedy, Miraflores’ central plaza, regularly has flea markets and art exhibitions. Larcomar, a shopping mall overlooking the Pacific coast, is located in Miraflores, and is very popular among tourists, young people, and the middle and upper classes. They have restaurants, stores, a food court, ice cream shops, arcades, bowling alleys, nightclubs, bars, and the most modern cinema in all of Lima.

We spent the next few days hopping around Lima visiting the usual tourist spots and trying to get a feel or the city, we skipped all the “ruins”, churches and temples…we already had our fill of those in Cuzco…One thing I do have to mention is the food…I’m not sure if it’s just me or the establishments I ate at, but I was certainly not impressed with the food. It all seemed a little bland to me… I guess it could be cause I’m a salt feind and with everything I eat, I gotta load up on the “white death”…none the less, if you ever go to Peru, lemme know what you think of the food…..

One other thing that stuck in my mind when we were travelling from the airport to our hostel along the oceanfront….they seemed to use the beach as a dump!!! It was amazing (in a bad way)…piles of garbage and construction waste just piled up along the shoreline…I guess these peruvians don’t like to live along the ocean???

In Lima there is also a park called “Parque de la Reserva” which is the largest water park in South America…opened in June of 2007 and is an amazing display of fountains, some choreographed to music and some interactive…you do have to be careful though as some of the displays shoot water randomly and have been known to “drench” unsuspecting visitors!!!

 

On our last day we went into “old” Lima to view the colonial architecture, Presidential Palace and the Plaza de las Armas (the main square)…all of a sudden a parade popped up!!!! Little did we know that it was a national holiday in Peru, Combate Naval de Angamos (Battle of Angamos), which was fought on October 8, 1879, during the naval stage of the War of the Pacific (Guerra del Pacífico)….. there were marching bands and crazy costumes all over the place!!
