We commenced our afternoon City Tour in Lima with a quick stop at the Love Park. In the morning when we had our tour to Pachacamac, we passed through Love Park before heading out of the city. A slight introduction of the park was being shared by our morning tour guide. As part of my City Tour’s itinerary, we had a quick stop at the Love Park located in Miraflores. It was a small park... continue
After a stop at Barranco, we drove straight 30 kilometers south of Lima, to the Archaeological Sanctuary of Pachacamac. Pacha Kamaq means the Earth creator.

This will help me manage my time... continue
After a quick city tour, we drove straight to Urca neighborhood to which the terminal of the cable car to Sugar Loaf Mountain is located. We got off the bus and lucky for us, there’s no queue.

By the way, there... continue
I used to travel alone. I am keen on organizing things, keeping track of my schedules and maximizing the time spent to one place.
