Av. Grau 350, Miraflores, Miraflores Lima, Peru, 1-241-6116

Initially stayed in Barranco, area beside the coast. Took in a city tour, which started in the more upmarket area of Miraflores. Saw the Plaza des Armas, The San Franciscan monastery and catacombs, through San Isidro, Exposition Park, and the central art museum. Saw a couple of pre-Incan sites of ruins. City is a bit run down but some nice architecture. Tour started on the 3rd, from Hotel Antigua, in Miraflores, where met up with the other 11 people on the trip and Karina, the tour leader:- 0...
Lima, Peru celiabarclayFinalamente estamos aqui!!! After 16 hours of travel, customs was fast and easy, but baggage was slow enough to worry La Morena...she didn't want to be left to run naked in the streets - thank god for patience, we've never been so happy to see suitcases in our lives! We were kindly greeted by Rafael, a 64 year old, native Peruvian fighting his way to the front of hundreds of people with a sign saying "JENNIFER CAHN." A short taxi ride and a few Peruvian history lessons later he brought us to ...
Miraflores and Barranco, Peru jmctravelsHello, Here we go day one in Lima Peru, these photos I took at breakfast this morning. The tables all have been made from treddle type sewing machines, some Singer some others. I found this very interesting, and have to do some research to find out if what I think about these machines is true.
Lima, Peru kahootzjohnYesterday was a long day of travelling. Went through Miami without incident. Arrived in Lima safely. Hotel is charming with hot water but no heating. Considering this is winter, the low was 15C. Felt cold only because the air is very damp. Hotel Antigua Miraflores has tons of exquisite paintings done by Peruvian artists. They are avail. for sale & I have picked out the one that I must have before coming home. Hope that I can hold the spending until then :-) Reyanne & I spent the day w...
Lima, Peru mstingArriving is always hard. Late, dark, new city, different language and all after a long day of travel. I left my house for the airport at 5 am and arrived in Lima at 1 am the following day. My airport transfer and hotel worked pretty smoothly and I was only moderately paranoid, giving the guide and driver the 3rd degree before deciding to just go with the flow. The following morning I quickly joined a half day city tour into the downtown to see the main square and old colonial buildings. A fam...
Lima, Peru roseyDay 22: Oh no! Our last day! We are sad it's our last day but also looking forward to being home with a good shower and bed and able to not worry about drinking water and ice. I'm sure we'll want to be traveling again after a few days. We had a really nice breakfast at our hotel (Hotel Antigua). They actually had something different than eggs. The vast majority of free hotel breakfasts that we've had on the trip were scrambled eggs or fried eggs served with toast and marmalade. There hasn't b...
Lima, Peru ruthmikeArrived safe and sound, Coz flight delayed by 1 hour which made for a happy reunion in Lima airport at 2.00am. Then to bed, both tired yet wired! Slept like babies and after breakfast spent some time organising and rearranging flights to Ica to view the Nazca Lines tomorrow. Corinne survived the longest Feb 22nd EVER, really the day just went on and on and on....but now we are here and getting geared up for our city tour and out Pisco sours.
Lima, Peru shetasticHi everyone, Left LAX yesterday afternoon and arrived, non-stop thank goodness, in Lima just before midnight. The hotel I am staying in provided a free taxi transport if you stayed for 2 or more nights so that saved me about $50 so Jose was there at the airport with my name on a sign - mucho gracias Jose! . It was about a 30 minute drive to Miraflores the part of Lima I had staying in. It was sort of foggy but very humid and about 65 degrees which is typical of Lima according to Jose - he sai...
Lima, Peru shirlbellHi all So we flew from JFK yesterday morning through El Salvador with TACA. Cool airline, really new planes and we even got to see some free B list movies on the way!! We arrived into Lima airport just after sunset last night and took the taxi in from the airport. Vanessa and the driver both chatted it up as I sat and took in the surrounding sights and sounds. Lots of crazy driving and crazier smells... The hotel is situated in the Miraflores district of Lima which is the upscale touristy di...
