The End

We got back to our Cusco home just in time to pack our bags, say good bye and head out for Lima. We were only in Lima a few days but we did as much as we could.

Day One

Strolled through the city. Their path runs through the middle of the street.

Cusco has stray dogs...Lima has stray cats.

Day Two

Went to the beach.

You can't imagine the number of stairs we had to walk down to get here.

Which is why this sign was so funny...basically it says if there is a tsunami to run as fast as you can up those stairs...we would not have made it.

LarcoMar Shopping Mall. It is built into the cliffs in Lima, so the view of the beach is amazing.

We also went to see Toy Story 3...the dialogue was in Spanish, but Greg and I had an wonderful time.

Day Three

Archbishop's Palace, it is a beautiful home and museum.

There were catacombs in almost all of the churches we went into. This is the infant crypt.

Again in the catacombs.

Palacio De Gobierno.

Iglesia de San Francisco
This church was amazing. The catacombs are the final resting place for as many as 75,000 remains.

Barrio Chino ~ China Town.


The last thing we did in Lima was sit down for some ceviche. So delicious!
Then it was off to the airport for our flight home.

As you can see, Lima was not our favorite place in Peru. It had some beautiful museums and wonderful food, but if you are ever in Peru I wouldn't spend a lot of time there.


On the other blog I will be posting slides of some of the food we enjoyed while in Peru!

  1. Those catacombs would have seriously creeped me out. For our honeymoon we went to San Diego and one of our stops was Balboa Park and they had a mummy exhibit... Mike had to guide me around while I covered my eyes!
    You need to find a decent recipe for ceviche and share it!!!
