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.
