This is the starting point of any photo trip in the country, going to the basics.
The Lima centre is the place where the city was founded, the same streets that Incas and Spaniards walked have changed a few in many decades and remain many old buildings.
Barranco was the new city of the 19th century, the place where wealthy families built their second house to escape from the city and enjoy the beach and farms.
Miraflores grew in the mid-1900s and today is the modern side of Lima city.
Plus, Lima grew up in a big valley where pre-Inca cultures built many sacred buildings, many of them have disappeared but luckily there are some still here and can be visited.
PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR LIMA ONE DAY
WHAT KIND OF PHOTOS WE MAY DO?
Architecture, city streets, landscapes and people.
WHEN TO GO?
The trip can be done for the whole year.
SUGGESTED ITINERARY:
8 am Meet up at the hotel (Miraflores, Barranco). First Stop at Puente Villena, Miraflores.
9 am Moving to Lima Centre, riding time 45min approx.
10-2 pm City streets of Lima. Some stop for lunch.
2 pm Moving to Barranco
3-5 pm Barranco Streets.
Depending on the season and the day we could make some adjustments to the schedule.
A. In winter, Miraflores may be foggy, then, we skip the first part.
B. In the mid-day we could shorten the visit to Lima to add the visit to Huaca Mateo Salado or Huaca Pucllana.
C. In summer (January to April) we have longer and clearer days, so we may stay a bit more in Barranco, maybe wait for the sunset at the seafront.
D. In summer walking in Lima city streets is tough because of the heath, we suggest starting at 7 am and going straight there, instead, we may finish in Miraflores.
WHAT TO TAKE?
Basically in summer (Feb-mar) must use sunscreen and fresh clothes with higher temperatures of 30C, during winter (aug-sep) a wind vest for temperatures of 13-15C.
