This site is very special. For the oldest known ruins in the Americas - the buildings and town planning are very sophisticated. We were stunned and also pleased, by how quiet the site is. there are not big tour groups, we only saw few groups there. The guides only speak Spanish, hopolly we understand Spanish litle bit, but even though we only speak English - they speak with such passion that we could understand it all rather well.

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.

The views from this beautiful walk/bike way are postcard perfect. Had a great time walking and taking in the sights and sounds. Not much for food and beverage on the walk, however a quick 2-3 block walk from the coast will get you access to many restaurants

Had been planning this visit for the past 5 years going to Peru, finally we made it. We were not really sure what to expect as we thought -how wrong we were- this was a minor pre-Inca site. Fact is, you are walking around the sire of the oldest settlement in all (yes ALL) Americas (North, Central and South). The site is in development and research and very much worth the 3+ hours to get there. While we drove ourselves, we are deeply familiar with Peru, speak Spanish 100% fluent and are fully versed in driving like and with the locals, there are several tours that will take you there (inclusive to arranging lunch in a nearby town), we highly recommend the guided tour. Notice if you are over 60, senior entrance fee applies (which for locals is about 1 quarter of a dollar). Bring something to prove it. Bring an umbrella of a hat (not a baseball cap, but what you would think you would use in a beach) as it is quite hot in there and the sun will make a number on you if you are not careful. Your entrance includes a guide (Almost sure there are no guides in English however, another reason to take a tour). Not sure how this site does not have a much stronger support fm the government, but it is what it is. You probably need 2 to 2 1/2 hour for a good visit. Bring water, plenty of, buying in site will be expensive. Visit also the galleria as it will get you good background info (that is how we contrasted this culture vs Egyptian and others happening elsewhere in the world.

Mateo Salado is a precious archaeological site in Lima (Pueblo, Brena). We were extremely impressed and happy about this silent and rather unknown monument in the heart of lively Lima. We can really recommend the site tour with the very experienced and enthusiastic guides (e.g. Belen and others). Thanks a lot for 2 great hours. Frank, Gloria and Manuel from Germany/Peru
9. Balcones de Lima

Reviewed By LuizDutraNeto - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
While visiting Lima and its magnificent "Centro Histórico", locally known as "Cercado de Lima", these intricate cedar wood structures - the "Balcones" - will certainly catch your eyes and attention. There are more than 1,600 balconies leaning over the narrow streets and squares of the "Centro Histórico", bringing harmony and originality to this part of Lima, an Unesco appointed, since 1988, "World Heritage Site"! Local authorities are making strong efforts to preserve the beautiful cedar wood balconies, witnesses of the old Spanish colonial times. Enjoy!
