With over 10 million people Lima is a very large city.Lima dates back to 1535 when it was first established
by the Spanish.Francisco Pizzaro dubbed the city Lima,City of Kings.When Peru got it’s independence in
1821 Lima became the capital.The city survived many wars and natural disasters to develop into a major
destination.Our first stop on our tour was Pachacamac Ruins which is a archeological site built between 800 and 1450 CE
After touring the ruins we went for lunch.They had American as well as Peruvian food.Very good.
Our next stop was in Miraflores and Love Park.This park ran for miles along the ocean and had lots of
people walking running exercising and just enjoying the day.It’s a beautiful area.
This area reminds me of the park in Barcelona that Gaudi developed.Along the walkway is this seating area
made of mosaic.Very nice.

Our last stop today was at a Indian Market.They have beautiful alpaca scarves among other things.
Tomorrow we will continue on with another tour of Lima.
