A day in lima
This is the starting point of any photo trip in the country, going to some of the most iconic places.
The Lima centre is the place where the original city was founded in 1535 by Spaniards. Since then many villages appeared but Barranco became the most important in the 19th century, turning into the place where the richest families built their second houses to escape from the city and enjoy the beach and countryside.
Included in the trip the market of Magdalena, one of the oldest districts of Lima.
