Paracas Peninsula and Lima
After visiting the islands we travelled around the Paracas peninsula. Its a
nature reserve and a major archeological site as well.
 |
Down near the ocean we got to see Flamingos. These are the ones that gave Peru
the colors for its flag, with the red wings at the sides and the white body in
the centre.
|
|
Walking by the sea cliffs we wandered into the caves and dodged the Pacific
waves. |
 |
 |
But there was a plane ride from Lima to be had. So we loaded up the bags one
more time and headed north. There was time to admire one of the churches in
Pisco.

|
I had been to Lima before but it was a first for Edith and Bryan. We had a day
or two to wander around and do some shopping. And my friend Christian was kind
enough to show us his home town as well.

For those days we were to be found in the south of Lima in the Miaflores
neighbourhood. This is the most wealthy and European part of the city. You could
easily think you are in a Spanish city.
|
Each time I have been to South America I felt Lima was a good city to finish the
trip in. Its just the right mix of the new and the old. I am not sure when I
will be back there again. But I am sure that I do want to return. Someday
soon...
