Peru is a very attractive country for tourism specially because of its culture, its geography and its history, this country has more than one hundreds thousands archaeological places and this is the reason why approximately the 80 percent of the received tourism is related to cultural matters.
The Peruvian kitchen is considered one of the most varied and originals in the whole world. It has the Guiness record for the biggest variety and diversity of typical dishes in the world.
In the scope of drinks, you should taste the Pisco Soul, is a drink prepared with a base of Pisco which is originally a liquor from Peru.
To discover Peru you must start by Lima, the actual capital of Peru, also known as “the city of the kings”. I recommend you to have your first contact in the very known “Plaza de las Armas” and beside it the cathedral. Right beside the Cathedral there is the Arzobispal Palace with a precious wooden carved balcony and very near is the Government palace. In the other side the City Council.
From this square you can go on by Jiron de la Union which is a pedestrian’s street that communicates with the Saint Martin’s square where there predominate diverse stores, restaurants, cafeterias and a very particular atmosphere.
The Saint Martin’s square is one of the most beautiful ones because of its reddish painted buildings, very near to the Plaza de las Armas there is the Mail Building which is covered by a gallery and to some steps from there there is the Aliaga House, one of the most antique mansions in Lima which stands out for its Colonial furniture.
Do not forget to visit the churches and convents of Lima such as: Saint Domingo’s church and Convent, in here there are located the rests of Saint Rosa. You also must go to the Saint Agustin’s church with a Churrisgueresca Facade, the Merced Church which is the place where was offered the first mass in Lima and where Saint Martin declared the independence, Saint Rosa’s Sanctuary of Lima was built in the same place where the Lima’s Pattern was born.
When talking about Museums you can’t miss The Gold Museum, with a private collection of thousands of gold pieces, Tumis, ear pieces, pectorals, textiles, mommies, jars, etc. from the different Pre-Columbian cultures. Then you should visit the Archaeological Museum of Rafael Larco Herrera, with one of the biggest ceramic collections, mommies, Jewellery, weaves, as well as erotic pieces from the Pre Columbian times where they described sexual practices of the Andean’s cultures. You can go on with the National Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology, the National Museum of the Republic, with excellent paintings, Colonial furniture and pieces from the independence times, Don’t forget to visit the Art’s Museum located in a beautiful building with a diverse collection of Pre Columbian pieces and colonials; and the Inquisition Museum which possesses a wonderful library.
Another museums you should definitely visit are the Peruvian culture Museum, the Museum of the Sciences of the Health so that you can acquire medical knowledge about the antique Indians. The Italian art’s Museum, the Historical military Museum, the Nature’s historical Museum, the Theatre’s Museum, the central bank of reserves Museum and the Amano’s Museum.
You also must visit the districts with more tourist interest of Lima which are located towards the south of the downtown towards the pacific coasts.
Let’s begin by the Mira Flores district, is one of the most moderns in Lima, with parks, squares, cafeterias, good stores to go shopping and above all a happy and active night life. Its main avenues are La Paz and Larco. On the weekends Mira Flores gets well populated by young people that doesn’t sleep until late, dances and drinks in the Benavides Avenue.
Saint Isidro in basically a resident suburb with some shopping malls, hotels, good restaurants, the Lima Golf field and the Olivar Park.
The Barranco District, is one of the most joyful in Lima, with a Bohemian spirit. Barranco has stood out for giving shelter to artists, writers and Bohemians. You must visit the whispers bridge “El Puente de los Suspiros” finally there is El Callao’s district where is located the main port in the country.
Peru is a fascinating country, with a whole world of things to discover. Its capital Lima is a great city, filled with contrasts and places that show culture and modernity. I hope one day I am able to meet such an amazing country and I also hope that you have enjoyed this short exposition about the Inca country and about the city of the kings.
