November 20-22, 2014:
Exploring Lima, Peru

 

 

The fifth (and last) major event of our South American Odyssey was the time we spent in Lima, Peru. We actually spent three days there, counting the day we flew in from Cuzco, which gave us only an afternoon on that first day. Lima was very, very interesting- and very, very large.


We'll be getting up early on the 20th to head back to the Cuzco airport. The four of us will then fly from Cuzco back to Lima, Peru, where we will take a taxi to the high-rise condo AirBnB that Greg found online. Our first order of business will be to meet the owner, get let in to the condo, and talk to him a bit about how everything works.

The rest of the 20th and the next two days will be spent exploring Lima before our flights home on the evening of the 22nd.

On the map at right, you can orient yourself to Cuzco and to Lima- Lima, as you can see, being right on the Pacific Ocean. As if you couldn't figure it out yourself, I've also marked the route of our flight back here from high in the mountains where Cuzco is located.

This index page will cover our three days here in Lima- our last stop on this South American Odyssey.

We took so many pictures here in Lima that I will again treat our time here as a trip of its own; consequently, it has this- its own index page. This index page will give you entree into the individual days of our stay here in Lima.

To use the index, you can click on any particular date to go directly to the page for that date. I have listed the major activities for each day in case there is something specific you want to see. But if you would just like to accompany us on all of our Lima stay, as most of you will, just click on the first day in the upper left corner of the index. Once on that first page there will be the usual links to get you to the next or previous page(day).

Whenever you are ready to continue through the photo album (we'll be back to much more mundane activities after we return from Lima), please use one of the "RETURN" links that you will find at the top or bottom of each Lima page to come back to the top of this page. There, you will find the links that will take you onward or backward through the photo album.

We hope you enjoy coming along with us as we explore Lima, and that the pages I've created here will give you some idea of what this charming seaside metropolis is really like.
