Brilliant museum, well laid out with an large collection of Inca pottery and grave goods, and a selection of “erotic” pottery in a separate wing. Some outstanding pieces

Barranco

Reviewed By Susanorkide - Fredensborg, Denmark

I absolutely loved this bohemian district close to the ocean with a lot of street art, artists and artisans. Barranco has beautiful and old architecture. I was there, on my last day in Lima, January 1, so it was pretty crowded. Nevertheless, I enjoyed to walk around the neighbourhood, and it’s definitely worth a visit.

Located outside of Lima in the constitutional province of Callao, La Punta is a peninsula surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and, hence, famous for its seafood. Grab a seat with a view, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere these traditional neighborhoods offer.

Islas Palomino

Reviewed By CarolynJ472 - Anchorage, United States

Our cruise ship was in the Callao port for way too few hours. But we used our time wisely by booking an excursion with Mar Adentro Excursions to the Palomino Islands. I have never seen penguins before and this was an opportunity to see them in their natural setting. We did see the Humboldt penguins. But we were overwhelmed with the sight of the sea lion population. There were so many that they were body to body n the rocks. One sea lion was so huge that I mistakenly thought I was looking at a sea lion and a giant boulder. He was so huge that it is a mystery how he managed to move that hulking body. Some of the passengers donned wetsuits and swam with the sea lions. Two of our guides joined them in the water and took good care of them. I was happy to watch and record their joy. Our guides and driver -- Rodrigo, Fernando and Jay -- were personable, professional and a lot of fun.
