Lima - the capital of Peru - $
The ancient capital of the Spanish colonies in South America yesterday, today the pride of Peru - the city of Lima is located on the Pacific coast, but one should not expect colorful landscapes, crazy panoramas to the coastal rocks and exciting walks along the sunny avenues of the avenues ±$ br >.Because "a city where the sun never shines," is engulfed by a year-round cloud of smog in the literal sense of .However, if you do not pay attention to the heat, many kilometers of traffic jams, then, for example, the Lima-Centro area with Spanish colonial mansions and bizarre wooden balconies will tell many interesting stories, significant for Peru .
The central square of the Plaza de Armas with a stone fountain, framed by the Cathedral of Santo Domingo with the tomb of Francisco Pizarro on the one hand and the Government Palace on the other - these are bright architectural evidence of the former influence of the colonial era on the city's appearance.
The Archbishop's Palace and the church of San Francisco, where the catacombs of the colonial period are carefully preserved, are interesting, crowded in the Plaza de San Martín with the statue of San Martín. In the afternoon, one should look at the temples of the pre-Indian period in San Isidro, visit the Museum of the Inquisition, the Museum of Arts, the colossal Museum of the Nation, the unique Museum of Gold, the National Museum of Archeology and Anthropology and, of course, the Rafael Larco Herrera Museum of Ceramics.
Neighborhoods of Lima
No less interesting neighborhood of the city. For example, 80 km from Lima there is a Markauasi plateau, famous for its megalithic sculptures and unique rock carvings. At 29 km is Pachakamak - the place of worship of the Divine Creator of the Earth, the religious center of the pre-Inca period, which has a huge cultural value for the country and world history. The valley of Rimak carefully nurtures in its embrace the structures of Puruchuko and Cajamarquilla, enveloped in curious secrets.
Cities in Peru
Cusco
It is not just a city, it is one of the oldest world capitals. Cusco (Hosho - the "center of the earth") was founded by the ancestors of Manco Capac and Mama Okllo as the capital of the Inca empire in an unattainable 1200 AD. e. Today, the "archaeological capital of America" is centered around the colorful Plaza de Armas, guarded by Inca Pachacuta's Inca images, who are keenly watching the ruins of the granite Palace of the Supreme Inca.
Magnificently propped up by the dome of the low sky is the cathedral of La Compagnia, known primarily for the size of the bell of María Angola, which is by far the largest in South America..In the north-west direction, from the top of the mountain, a monumental complex of Saksa-iaman structures ("Predatory bird of gray-stone color"), which used to be a military and religious abode of the Inca Empire, is looking from the city to the city..This is a true colossus erected from huge stone blocks, still requiring no repair .The structure is a "throne of the Inca", bound by 21 bastion with powerful towers .In the neighborhood are the ruins of the fortresses of Kenko, Puka Pukara and Tambo-machei .
Walking near the walls of the church of El Triunfo or the church of Santo Domingo on a hot afternoon, sipping a fragrant lemonade, or wandering about through the ruins of Inca Coricancha, which is located east of the city center, is a noble business, but at the same time would have time to the Palace of Justice, the unique Museum Institute of Archeology of the National University, the pompous Museum of the Viceroyalty and, of course, the Museum of Religious Art .Every day of your stay in Cuzco promises to be filled with a mass of vivid impressions .But the main thing is the magical atmosphere of antiquity, which permeates every pebble of the city and envelops the charm of antiquity, which will be remembered for a long time .
Arequipa
The name of the city of Arequipa translates as "let's stop here" and thus it invites to be convinced personally that the beauty of its wide streets, built up by colorful houses of white stone "silyar" in the Spanish colonial style of the late 18th century, drowning in the groves of magnolias and eucalyptus, is incomparable with nothing else.
The world celebrity - convent Convento de Santa Catalina gives an opportunity to plunge into the history of the country in the middle of the last century. The scale of the artist's thoughts is seen in the guise of the Cathedral, attracts tourists to the canopy of the Jesuit church of La Campania, and the building of the beautiful Casa Riquetts mansion (1738), in which now is the bank, the former mall Casa de la Moneda (18 in .) and Casa-Moral mansion will become picturesque scenery for photo sessions.
Iquitos
Iquitos loses somewhat compared to the rich Peruvian metropolitan metropolitan areas, but there are a couple of interesting places, uniqueness of which can not be doubted, and one can be sure of hiring a moto-rickshaw for 1, 5 hours for 15 salts .But the most important delicacy that attracts tourists here, of course, is the jungle of the Amazon, to which from Iquitos sail by boat for about an hour .Strekochuyuschie, homongating, continuously moving jungle - a unique organism, inextricably linked with the river, gently washing the mighty roots of ancient trees .By the way, here you can see gray and pink Amazonian dolphins and the largest freshwater fish payche .Tour for 3 days per one will cost $ 259 .
Уака-Пукльяна

Pisco
Pisco, through which the Pan-American road runs, is a large fishing port from which it is easy to reach the wild.
Huaraz
Today, Huaraz is the most important center of mountaineering and hiking, despite the fact that the city itself is not particularly attractive. Climbing is possible from May to September. The contrast of glacial lakes and hot springs, the neighborhood of the Inca civilization ruins and wild untouched nature - all combine the Huascaran National Park, which occupies a significant part of the Cordillera Blanca mountains.
Karas
The town is small, but charming. It is located in the east of Chimbote (Shimbote). Miniature Plaza de Armas, a handful of hotels and restaurants, picturesque trails, entangle its surroundings. A delightful quiet corner where the Llanganuco-Santa Cruz hiking trail ends and excursions to Laguna Paron and Canon del Plato begin.
