Being Peru´s capital city, there are all sorts of famous, old things to see in Lima. These are almost all from my day of walking around downtown. Quick post :)
 |
| Across the river are a few rough neighborhoods. But they have cool, colorful houses that go up the steep hillsides! Lonely Planet didn´t recommend going over there despite a nice view from the top. |
 |
| Hogwarts library! Not quite, but the volumes were as ancient, and written on Velum and sheep and cow skins. The book in front is so large so that the chior could all see it from their seats when singing. |
 |
| President´s house! My guide was nice enough to say ¨Like where Obama lives!¨ |
 |
| One of many magnificent churches... except this one has massive catacombs underneath. |
 |
| The Catacombs... magnificent, surreal place. It looked like a set from some movie, but these are the bones of people who couldn´t afford to pay for their own burial in the 1800s. The Priests or someone got pretty decorative with the layouts though. The guide said about 25,000 bodies in all were laid to rest down there. |
 |
| On top of a adobe pyramid constructed by a pre Inca civilization. The tour was bit slow and there isn´t much known about the people - I´d go surf with the hour instead. Good view though! |
