Day 39, some UNESCO sites of Peru

We leave Santa Cruz for Peru.

We are going to meet my very dear friend Karla in Lima.
Karla has recently become a Mom:-) Congratulations again my dear Karla:-) Since she is unable to accompany us on all the tours, she was kind enough to book all our tours online so we are going to visit a few of the UNESCO sites of Peru.

LIMA

Although severely damaged by earthquakes, this 'City of the Kings' was,until the middle of the 18th century, the capital and most important city of the Spanish dominions in South America. Many of its buildings are the result of collaboration between local craftspeople and others from the Old World. The tour guide points out the the Palacio Arzobispal de Lima as we drive by in our horse drawn carriage....

Next stop:Arequipa

The historic centre of Arequipa, built in volcanic sillar rock, represents an integration of European and native building techniques and characteristics, expressed in the admirable work of colonial masters and Criollo and Indian masons. This combination of influences is illustrated by the city's robust walls, archways and vaults, courtyards and open spaces,and the intricate Baroque decoration of its facades. Its fascinating, isn't it Sita?

Río Abiseo National Park

The park was created in 1983 to protect the fauna and flora of the rain forests that are characteristic of this region of the Andes. There is a high level of endemism among the fauna and flora found in the park. The yellow-tailed woolly monkey, previously thought extinct, is found only in this area. Research undertaken since 1985 has already uncovered 36 previously unknown archaeological sites at altitudes of between 2,500 and 4,000 m, which give a good picture of pre-Inca society....Nopi is loving this.....
