Welcome my friends to Peru. We are going to explore all over this magnificent country. We are
going to learn all about the Incan culture. We are going to have a ton of fun. We are going to go
to the markets. It is going to be a great time. So come on with us.

Lima is the capital of Peru. It is a beautiful city full of culture and history. Plaza de Armas is in the
heart of Lima. It is a great place to get a feel for daily life here and see historic buildings,
including the cathedral.

Just a short ride away from the Plaza de Armas is the world-renowned Larco Museum which is
home to thousands of pre-Columbian artifacts. So the Larco Museum isn't just a typical museum
that actually allows you access into the storage room, and there are over 40,000 artifacts just in
this room alone.

Of course, you can't leave Lima without visiting Miraflores. And once the sun goes down, there is
even more to see. Welcome to Parque de la Reserva. This place is family-friendly, tourists love it,
locals love it, and it is all about these amazing water shows. Lima is full of life and things to do.
