We will stop in front of Huaca Pucllana, which is an archeological site, and get some historical information about the Lima culture, which was a pre-Inca culture and was located around the Lima valley.
We will have a panoramic view crossing thousands of olive trees in the heart of the San Isidro district. These trees were brought by the Spanish in colonial times and were more important than food at that time.
We will pass in front of this place considered as the largest water fountain park in the world by Guinness World Records.
We will also see the Palace of Justice of Peru, which is a replica of the Palace of Justice in Belgium, only with a small difference.
This important square has been there since Peru celebrated its hundred years of independence (1921), it is an iconic place where there is a sculpture made of bronze that represents the Liberator of Peru José De San Martín. This place is surrounded by a nice French building from the 19th century.
In this museum we are going to see what religious life was like in colonial times, its cloister that is decorated with incredible tiles, paintings, fruit trees and also this museum has one of the oldest libraries in South America, and of course its catacombs and crypts.
