As you stroll through the Plaza de Armas, your eyes are drawn to the magnificent Cathedral Of Lima, a 16th-century masterpiece that stands proudly in Plaza Mayor. UNESCO has recognized its significance as a symbol of Peru's rich heritage. In Barranco, San Francisco church welcomes visitors with its stunning architecture and serene atmosphere. The district's charm extends to the coast of Miraflores District, where you can witness breathtaking views along Costa Verde. The Pacific Cliffs offer an awe-inspiring backdrop for those exploring the Pan-American Highway.
