    Old balconies

    There are many wonderful wooden balconies in the centre of Lima. The most impressive are in the Plaza de Armas, but if you wander around you will see many others, not so well preserved, but beautiful too. Covering the balconies with wooden bars let the people living in the house gaze the people passing by in the streets without being seen from the outside...

    Plaza Mayor And Surroundings: The rain in Lima is called Garúa or llovizna

    Walking in the rain

    Well, it was one of those rainy days ... (in fact, it is not *rain*, it is garúa or llovizna which means that the relative humidity is 100 por cent, and when the temperature falls the air cannot hold the water, which then falls out in a form similar to rain) ... I mean, to you it will make no differens if it is rain or lluvizna, as long as you get wet. This garúa is most frequent during the winter period (in June-July-August), when the weather in Lima not is at its best.

    Walking around the historical center you will find the streets signed with this nice old looking tiles, that indicate the street's present name and the old one as well.

    Visit the museums and walk on the Plaza de Armas or Plaza Mayor and around...then, after that, there is nothing to see !

    Do not stay in LIMA more than one day. Go to Miraflores, just near the beach. walk in Miraflores , on the beach.

    Lima Cathedral

    See the Plaza de Armas. This is Lima's power base. The Presidential Palace is here, and so is the Lima Cathedral. It is also flanked by governemnt buildings in one side of the square. Peru's spiritual,political and economic well-being are being shaped around this plaza

    Driving along the Pacific coast of Lima. Lima's air pollution can be oppresive, the sea breeze is invigorating. It was a great relief to see the ocean after trekking around the interiors of South America.

    Walk the beautiful streets downtown. Miraflores can be tempting, but the heart of Lima lies downtown.
