Today we visited another ruins called Huaca Pucllana an old pre-Incan construction dating back to 500 AD.
Mummies wrapped in cloth after death
Our next stop was to Barranco.
Barranco is a district in Lima where the rich and famous once had their beach homes. Today Barranco is a Bohemian artsy community.
We strolled along a pathway that took us to a church and park which was nice.There are some sculptures and a old church.The church is
called La Erminta and is a rundown adobe built in 1750.The chapel was burned during the war between Peru and Chili in 1882.
Our next stop was Plaza de Armas where the Govenment Palace is located around the plaza.This is home to the executive branch
of the government and the president of Peru.
Some Peruvian women sitting in the plaza
Parade going on in plaza
Our next stop was the San Francisco Monastery which is known for its catacombs.The church and monastery
contain more than 70,000 bones of people that had died.It also has a library that contained books from thousands of years ago
It seems I didn’t get photos of the library or catacombs probably not allowed.We returned back to the ship after a long day.
Next stop Pisco
