When I looked out the window welcoming the morning, I almost broke down. The entire sky over Lima was shrouded in gray clouds. The owner of the hotel comforted me that this is the beauty of the capital of Peru, over which the sun only shines a few months a year. Lima is a huge behemoth, and getting to the most attractive places is quite a challenge. I really liked the colonial architecture of the old town, but I was most impressed by Huaca Pucllana, a huge pyramid of dried bricks in the Miraflores district.
