Countryside surrounding Pachacamac






The Pachacamac ruins are situated southeast of Lima about 25 miles and between the city of Lurin and the ocean. Karen was afraid that she would never get to see what it looked like outside of Lima or any country or where crops were grown. The picture of the rows of crops are red chile peppers. They are very hot.



Notice the picture above, you can see an island off the coast out in the ocean. Also that is the Panamanian highway.
The picture to the right shows some men on horses getting ready to play polo. Click on the picture to view.

There are hundreds and hundreds of little vendors selling their wares from clothing, dolls, purses, jewelry etc. We didn't buy anything but got a good idea of some of the things that they have.

One of many highways in Lima. This is Avenida Arequipa that runs north and south. Maybe 9-10 blocks from our apartment. During rush hour this road will be packed.

On our P-day we went to Miraflores and ate at a fantastic restaurant just above the cliff. The tall building in the background is the Marriott hotel. The name of the restaurant was Mangos. It was buffet.
