Tourism and attractions in Lima
Lima, more than 400 years ago was called 'Ciudad de los Reyes'(City of Kings) by Francisco Pizarro. Today, those same lands belonging to the Indian chief Taulichusco and the Rimac people is a metropolis of more than 7 million habitants, who kept their pride and convents colonial symbols of their ancient and noble tradition. Founded on January 18, 1535, Lima, the capital of Peru, is a modern city in constant growth, but has maintained at the same time its rich Historic Center, a World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO, as a delightful haven of a bygone era. The cathedral, which began to be built on the same day of founding of the city, the Church and Convent of San Francisco, considered by its unit volume and color the most successful architectural ensemble of Latin America, and Santo Domingo, with a beautiful main cloister, are only some of the old Lima jewels of inestimable value . Located on the banks of the Rimac river and caressed by Pacific waters, the city of Lima is also evidence of the period of pre-Hispanic times, being the most important the large sanctuary of Pachacamac constructed for the worship of the god of the same name, and Huaca Pucllana in the district of Miraflores, an important administrative center of Lima culture (400 AD). Because of its indigenous roots that Lima inherited from his name - comes from the Aymara word 'lima-limac' or 'limac-Huayta' designating a yellow flower, or quechua 'Rimac', which means 'talker' its colonial past that he instilled his faith, its touch of modernity that the plans for the future, and for its festive color to your everlasting gray sky, Lima, will always be, the City of Kings. In almost all districts of Lima can be enjoyed the glare of the nightlife. We recommend travel and lodging in San Isidro and Miraflores, where there is a range possibilities of fun: discos, bars, pubs and folk clubs, where the 'jarana' (party) is with a wood box 'cajón' and guitar, with valses and polkas, the traditional style of the old Lima. Nightlife and night also have another limean Location: Barranco. Traditional air-old district full of romance, is the meeting point of bohemian capital. In this corner of the city, tranquility vanishes when night falls. Barranco transforms with the moon. Hundreds of people take for assault discos, bars, restaurants, pubs and casino slot machines, so the hours are endless and, for a moment, the world seems perfect. But the night is not exclusive Barranco. In Lima, there are more than one reason to scare the dream. The night is seductive.
