About Lima
Over its long history Lima has been home of important pre-Columbian civilizations including the Chimú and Inca, Vice-royal Capital, and now the modern capital of Peru that we know today. Along the streets of Lima you´ll see stately colonial mansions alongside modern skyscrapers, fusion restaurants attesting to past immigration waves, and pre-Inca pyramids demonstrating the area´s prior life. The Lima city offers travelers a wealth of possibilities: Tour the underground crypts of San Francisco Monastery or gawk at the Gold Museum´s showy artifacts and the Larco Museum´s famous and extensive erotic pottery gallery (See also Tour museums Lima). Lose yourself in the city´s dramatic history among the historical monuments of the Plaza Mayor where you can pay your respects to the Peruvian Saints buried at Santo Domingo or visit Government Palace where the Independence of Peru was declared. Along the oceanside cliff you can watch the surfers and sunbathers on the beach below or take a leap of faith and circle over the Pacific as a tandem hang-glider. Complete your day by sampling the popular cuisine of Lima.

Lord of Miracles
After a mural of Christ's crucifixion painted by a resident of a freed-slave shantytown in Lima in the 17th century survived unscathed an earthquake that razed the surrounding area and most of the city, as well as attempts to erase it and a seaquake, it gained fame as the Lord of Miracles and the Church of Nazarenas was constructed around wall and mural. During the Lord of Miracles Festival on Oct. 18th, hundreds of incense-waving nuns and devotional singers lead the 4,300 chosen carriers who, in 36-person squads, each shoulder 50kg of the statue replica on its sterling silver litter in 15min increments as they process for 24 hours along streets festooned in purple. Hundreds of thousands of devotees and celebrants sing and dance and indulge in traditional sweets, also attired in purple.
