Remember, everything started here ... On January 18, 1535, Spanish "Conquistador" Francisco Pizarro founded the City of Lima and, right at this very site, designated where the "Plaza de Armas" (or "Plaza Mayor") would be built! Just amazing! The other buildings came some time after, being built and rebuilt along the centuries up to their todays' features - the "Catedral de Lima", the "Parroquia del Sagrario and the central water fountain (all from the 17th century); the "Palacio Arzobispal", the "Palacio de Gobierno", the "Palacio Municipal de Lima" and the "Palacio de la Unión" (all dating the 20th century) constitute the city's focal point. You are just about to visit the very heart of Lima, its beautiful historic center, locally known as "Cercado de Lima". Take your time and stroll along, enjoy the views, the lovely manicured gardens and lawns, the "Changing of the Guard" at noon in front of the "Palacio de Gobierno" and visit the interior of all buildings that allow so! And as a curiosity, Peru's independence from Spain was proclaimed right here in 1821! Don't forget your camera! Enjoy!

Miraflores is a wonderful part of Peru filled with wonderful restaurants and parks to see! Highly recommend visiting Love Park, the Mall on the Cliff, and Kennedy Park, all areas within walking distance. There’s also mutiple markets in the area that sell beautiful souvenirs as well.

Reviewed By PC_comments - Cambridge, United Kingdom
The trip consisted of a flight over the Nazca Lines. The plane was quite small so everyone had a window seat and the pilot flew over every "picture" twice to ensure people on both sides had an excellent view. Perhaps not a good idea if you're a nervous flyer but I enjoyed it immensely.
5. San Blas

This traditional old quarter of Cusco is the city's most picturesque district characterized by narrow and steep streets, colonial houses built with walls of Incan stone and numerous art workshops.
Reviewed By FarAway25489
So interesting to walk the narrow streets, observe the Incan stones providing support for the buildings. Great local restaurants. Be prepared for street vendors to follw you with their wares. Have a firm “no thank you” or Sols ready as they are persistent.

We just visited yesterday afternoon (early October, Saturday, 2:30pm), and felt so fortunate to see these amazing ruins, with beautiful views, with very few other tourists! I felt a bit guilty for opting to take a taxi back to town rather than the long hike down, until it started to rain. Most of my pictures are on my old school camera, but here are the few iphone photos from my visit. My only complaint was that there were no onsite guides to hire. Not sure if this is never available, or too late in the day.

Reviewed By joniG8888 - Drexel Hill, United States
The plaza is a great place to people-watch, sit, read, talk to people, meet puppies and watch dance performances. There are marble benches to sit on(no criss-cross sitting allowed). There are vendors who sell food, bubbles and toys. We watched a presentation of La Marinera folk dance and it was amazing! See it on IG: @flip_in_philly
