Lima (Huaca Pucllana, Miraflores, Centro Historico, etc on foot) (Day 2) (4/13/19)

Today, I woke up and worked for a few hours in the hotel room.  Also, I booked a bus ride tomorrow afternoon to Cuzco.  At about 11AM, I started walking from Miraflores to Huaca Puclanna, an archaeological site in the middle of dense, urban Lima.  This archeological site was very interesting and enjoyable, because it was such a well-preserved site considering its age of over 1,000 years.  Also, it’s a reminder that many of the major cities we live in today were probably also ancient cities with fascinating histories.

Next, I walked to Miraflores and tried visiting a couple of well-known ceviche restaurants.  Upon noticing that both of the restaurants were packed, I tried a less popular ceviche restaurant and had a great authentic ceviche dish.  Then I walked along Miraflores bluffs until Laranco.  From Laranco, I ubered to Centro Historico and walked around in that area for a couple hours.  I walked through an area along the river where there were many street performers and street vendors, almost all of which were locals.  Afterwards, I walked to the magic fountain park and enjoyed the atmosphere and fountains lit up at night.IMG_8199IMG_8201IMG_8202IMG_8203IMG_8204IMG_8206IMG_8207IMG_8208IMG_8209IMG_8210IMG_8211IMG_8212IMG_8213IMG_8214IMG_8215IMG_8216IMG_8217IMG_8218IMG_8219IMG_8220IMG_8221IMG_8222IMG_8223IMG_8224IMG_8225IMG_8226IMG_8227IMG_8228IMG_8230IMG_8231IMG_8232IMG_8234
