LIMA:
Currently, Lima, as any other metropolis in the world, offers the tourist great attractions and the comfort a traveller seeks. Its 500 years of life has left important remains from its rich history. It must be said that Lima, because of its origin and marked centralism concentrates the greatest attention from the tourists. Beautiful beaches, a varied cuisine and a variety of spectacles, everything that a tourist is eager to find.
In Lima reigns the "criollismo". The religious faith, whose gratest expression is the world wide known prossession of the Señor de los Milagros or Cristo Morado de Pachacamilla (the month of October). An equally traditional custom is that of the corridas which take place in the Plaza de Acho and the festivities of Santa Rosa de Lima (August).
The City of Lima has many touristic centers: museums such as the Magdalena, and the Gold Museum; site museums in Pachacamac and Puruchuco; churches and colonial houses such as San Francisco, La Merced and the Palace of Torre Tagle; archaeological ruins such as Pachacamac, Cajamarquilla, El Paraíso and Chilca; scenic landscapes such as the Infiernillo, Chillón and Río Cañete Canyons. There are thermal baths such as the Churín and numerous beaches within Metropolitan Lima.
