    A newer and more upscale plaza than the Plaza de Armas, this pleasant flower-filled oasis would be perfect if it weren't for peddlers selling their wares. It is from the early 1900's and statue of General San Martin is from 1921.

    This is the second biggest and more famous square in Lima. It is located in the historical centre and there is located the Bolivar Hotel, as well as many nice official buildings.

    Lima's second largest plaza is San Martin. Although not as ornate as Plaza mayor, this plaza has many more shops and restaurants.

    Al centro de la Plaza se encuentra una gran estatua ecuestre del General don José de San Martín, obra del español Mariano Benlluire. De esta forma se honra al prócer argentino que proclamó la independencia del Perú en 1821.

    At the base of the equestrian statue in PLaza San Martin is this delightful little statue of a woman with a llama on her head. The story goes the Peruvians commissioned the statue to be made in Spain. The Peruvian wanted the woman to have a crown of flames over her head. The Peruvian spanish word for flame actually means llama in Spain so the statue showed up with a llama on her head!
