Plaza De Acho
7 Recommendations: 7 Favorable,
A wonderful old place, full of atmosphere. Of course no all must agree with the corrida, I don't, but I must say the place is really nice. If you go to San Cristobal hill you could see this old building from a nice and different sight.

Magic Water Circuit
7 Recommendations: 7 Favorable,
Is the biggest water circuit in the world (Guiness). It´s Recomendable to visit it at night so you can see the light arrangements that makes it even more beutiful. However its open on mornings so its up to you. You are free to play with the water and get as wet as you want. If you decide to do this take with you extra clothes or just watch. Better if you go at twilight as it´s a kind of big park. It´s a must visit!

Monastery of San Francisco, Lima 1
6 Recommendations: 6 Favorable,
Located just two blocks from the Plaza de Armas (Main Square). A must see in Lima. The church was built in the 17th century, Baroque style, decorated with wood carvings, faience tiles and ornate moldings. You should also pay a visit to the museum and especially the catacombs, where the remains of some 25,000 people are stored. However, some experts claim that the number of deceased there is actually closer to 70,000.

Jockey Plaza
4 Recommendations: 4 Favorable,
This is a regular urban mall, roofed with a central alley its two stories lined with shops and also a typical food court. It has cinemas, supermarkets and the anchor stores Ripley, Saga , Ace Home Center and Plaza Vea. There you can spend a day shopping or just going with the kids to see some movies, but it is of no other particular attraction. At least Larcomar Mall in Miraflores profits from the view of Lima´s bay, this mall is just surrounded by parking lots.

Huaca Pucllana
4 Recommendations: 4 Favorable,
The Huaca Juliana or “Pucllana” gets its name from the Quechuan word “pucllay” meaning “game,” and in its entirety can be translated as “a place for ritual games.” Back in its prime days, it was an important ceremonial and administrative center for the advancement of the Lima Culture, a society which developed in the Peruvian Central Coast between the years of 200A.D. and 700A.D. With the intended purpose of having the elite clergymen (whom politically governed several valleys in the area) express their complete religious power and ability to control the use of all the natural water resources (saltwater and freshwater) of the zone, a Great Pyramid was constructed in the Huaca. This great adobe and clay pyramid is itself built from seven staggering platforms. As a whole, the structure is surrounded by a plaza or central square that borders the outer limits and by a large structured wall dividing it into two separate sections. In one section there were benches and evidence of deep pits where offerings of fish and other marine products took place in order to attain the favor of the gods. In its other section (corresponding to its administrative area), there are various small clay structures and huts made of adobe – some of whose walls have managed to maintain upright – whose function seemed to be to act as the courtyards and patios of the enclosure at over 500 meters in length, 100 in width and 22 in height. Other remains have been uncovered belonging to the Wari culture (existing between 500AD to 900AD) which was a direct influence to the Lima Culture society towards the ends of its time period. One such remains to spotlight, are those of the “Señor de los Unkus” (the gentleman of the Unkus) which belonged to the first tomb within the ceromonial center to have been discovered completely intact. This tomb holds three separate burial shrouds containing the remains of three adults – two of which have masks- and a fourth one for a sacrificed child.
