Video made for family and friends.
We had time for a short city tour and lunch in the centre of old Lima before we headed for the airport. First we visited the Lima cathedral where Francisco Pizzaro was buried. It was he who conquered the Incas and founded Lima. Next stop was in an old 1536 Spanish mansion, Casa Aliaga, in colonial style with large lavishly decorated airy rooms and a beautiful atrium with a small garden. After visiting the Larco museum with an impressive collection of pre-Columbian art, we had lunch at a restaurant in the museum’s beautiful lush garden.
