    Plaza San Martin is another huge square at Lima´s old city center. Although it is surrounded by old imposing buildings, this square looked more modern, noisy and alive to me than Plaza de Armas. A cab driver has told me that this is the preferred site for public manifestations and riots in Peru. Interesting additional info.

    There is a statue in Plaza San Martin of a woman with a Llama on her head. Apparently the person who commisioned the statue asked for the statue to be built with a crown of flames but the word for flame in Spanish is the same as the word for Llama and the person who made the statue built it with a Llama instead. Its a pretty amusing sight!!!
