Welcome to Lima! This is Peru's capital
and home to some of the most amazing
Spanish architecture in south america
we're going to travel from miraflores
which is a beachside community to the
historic core of this city to visit the
architecture
let's go check it out.
Lima! Lima Baby! Lima Peru!
I'm in Peru, this is Miraflores.
While in Miraflores we stayed at the
Hilton Hotel which had an amazing
panoramic view of the city.
Miraflores, Lima.
In Miraflores is huaca pucllana, which is one of the most famous
archeological sites in the city
Musicians are inside and you will enjoy this area.
On the way to the city, we
passed by many famous buildings
including the museo de arte in palacio
de justicía. There was Simón Bolívar from Venezuela.
From Venezuela and Argentina, famous people were here. So we're driving
around the long street, a very narrow street.
I'm in Lima Peru. We are walking to the downtown.
Another special style
they had more than 5 colors in their pottery.
They choose the geometrical style.
800 years after Christ so those people
were vicús. Vicús are located over there
in the corner and they made that kind of jars
musical jars. You put water, it will
produce nice sounds.
no gracias. Candy.
This is the downtown in Lima.
the main cathedral in Lima and on top
are vultures. Can you see them?
This area is known as plaza de Armas, the main square in Lima Peru.
We're gonna go see the changing of the guards.
what we thought was the changing of the
guards ended up being a visit from
another diplomat but the changing of the
guards does happen seven days a week at
eleven-forty-five am. I'm loving the
architecture here.
one-third of whose population lives in
Lima and many of the building dates back
to the 16th century our next stop is the
monastery of san francisco a designated
a UNESCO World Heritage Site completed
in 1774 in Spanish Baroque architecture
it is famous for its catacombs which
include thousands of bones as well as
beautiful tile work on our way back to
Miraflores we passed by Cerro san
cristobal which is a hill that is 409
meters high
also something to note is Lima does not
have a metro system so the traffic is
pretty intense sometimes
this market is called Vivanda supermarket
and it's a nice place where you can buy
some good food, ready-made food. yeah. Looks like Whole Foods.
This is Lima at night. Got me some local
beer and this is the view. Right here is
the JW Marriott and that is where Barack
obama stayed when he was here two days
ago at the APEC meeting. At night we
headed to a local dance performance to
see the traditional dances of Peru which
included the marinara nortena.
This is the national dance of Peru.
