Major Plaza of Lima-The Spanish foundation of Lima marks
one of the important successes in the history of Peru.
Originally this area had small stores and businesses. It was
also used for both bull fights and for the execution of
prisoners during the Spanish Inquisition. Later in the
colonial period a central pillar of bronze was used for
announcements as it is even today. In 1821 the
independence of Peru was announced here. Along the
sides the Plaza are the Governmental Palace, the Catholic
Cathedral, Archbishop’s Palace, and the buildings of the
Municipality of Lima.

Church and convent of San Francisco: This beautiful
example of colonial architecture was constructed in the
17th century from blue tiles. It has many halls, an
amphitheater, patios, and a spectacular library. It is an
important site of religious art , and the Hall of Zuraran. The
basilica is constructed over a network of subterranean
galleries and catacombs, which served as a cemetery
during the colonial period and can now be viewed by the
public.

Museum of the Central Bank and Reserve of Peru: In the
central historical district of Lima we visit one of the most
beautiful buildings, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. Here
we can appreciate the various treasures of Peru including
a select exposition of gold and ceramic objects. We also
find textiles of diverse pre-Columbian cultures including
those of the Incas. This museum is sure to captivate and
impress our visitors.

PACHACAMAC: This was the principal ceremonial site of
coastal Peru. Its influence declined, beginning with the
15th century when the Inca King Tupac Yupanqui was
conquered by the conquistadors. Here we find the Temple
of the Sun and Acllahusai, both of these were constructed
during the Inca era. By touring this palace we can
understand the history of the Central Coast of the Lurin
River and the view the ruins of the temples and admire the
natural construction of the site.

Barranco: This city is traditionally known as the Bohemian
part of Lima. It is a city of traditional poets, singers and
writers. We will talk about the history and anecdotes of the
bridge of the spirits of Barranco.

Villa of the Marsh (Pantonos de Villa): In the area of
Pachacamac, we find the nature reserve of the Pantamos
de Villa. This is the only protected natural area in Lima. The
migratory birds live in the marshland, which is filled with
reeds and other protective plants.
