Beautiful museum of artifacts from ancient Peruvian civilizations, including ceramics, textiles, and metalwork. The exhibits are nicely curated, and the collection is huge, but for an entry fee of 50 soles I would've expected a bit more variety and some other content than just constant display cases with accompanying text. Very interesting, but after a while it gets a little boring. Beside the main museum there's a separate exhibit for "erotic" artifacts, mainly pottery portraying sexually explicit scenes. It's included in the main ticket price. There's also a souvenir shop and a restaurant on site. There are explanatory texts in several languages for all exhibits, so English speakers for example can easily follow along. There's also an audio guide available, but this we didn't try. We spent approximately two hours walking through the museum, stopping briefly at most exhibits.

The Larco Museum in Lima is one of Peru’s finest museums and a must-visit for anyone interested in history and culture. Housed in an 18th-century colonial mansion, it features an outstanding collection of pre-Columbian art, including ceramics, textiles, metalwork, and jewelry from ancient civilizations like the Moche, Nazca, and Inca. One of its highlights is the world-famous gallery of erotic pottery, which is both fascinating and unique. The museum also offers beautifully curated exhibits with clear explanations in multiple languages, making it easy to understand Peru’s rich cultural heritage. The gardens and café add to the experience, creating a relaxing atmosphere after exploring the galleries. Perfect for culture lovers, history buffs, and anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Peru before (or after) visiting its archaeological sites.

An excellent way to familiarise yourself with the various cultures of Peru, both Incan and Pre-Incan. Lots to see so probably allow around 90 minutes. It is slightly cheaper to book a ticket in advance online than pay at the museum. The small gardens are very colourful. Worth going here and combining with the National archaeological and anthropology museum, which is about a 20 minute walk away.

This is a must to visit if you make it to Lima Peru. There are about 45k of antiques found in different sites in the whole Peru. They belong to the pre Inca culture. It is so surprised to see how well they all were preserved after 2000 or 5000 years underground. I did not have much time there for the last visit but next time when I come back I think I will spend a whole day here. Highly recommended.

🌟 An unforgettable experience—leave yourself plenty of time! Visited on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 with reservations from 5–7pm. We arrived early but were overdue for dinner, so we hit the restaurant before exploring the museum. Though that left us only about an hour inside. Despite the short visit, every detail of the museum, restaurant, and grounds impressed me. 🍽️ The restaurant is beautifully designed—definitely a bit upscale for my “hole-in-the-wall” tastes, but still worth the stop. Prices are on the higher side. 🌺 The grounds are stunning, with vibrant flowers everywhere and photo-worthy views around every corner. 🏺 The museum exhibits are top-notch, A+. What can be said about this collection that hasn't already been said? The quality, detail, and condition of these artifacts that are hundreds and thousands of years old, are second to none. Simply extraordinary. I'd recommend 3-5 hours or more if you really want to absorb and appreciate everything. So I'll definitely be returning for another visit as 1–2 hours isn’t nearly enough. 🗣️ Guided tours in Spanish are available for 10 soles and last about an hour. They didn’t offer English tours during our visit, but I believe they do offer them. They provide self-guided audio devices in English for the same price—I'll try that next time because I'm a fan of moving at my own pace. 🎁 Gift shop: Prices are steep, but it's a welcome addition. Far too many sites in Peru lack gift shops and miss the opportunity to cash in on visitors after the experience. People want souvenirs and they're willing to pay for them! 📍 Overall: This is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Lima. Don’t rush it—plan time to explore, then unwind with a meal or drink afterward.

Lovely place amazing collection of Indigenous artifacts, beautiful displays, and the garden, just stunning small but packed full of wonderful art. It also has a large erotic art section, very Peruvian cultural art, but best to keep the kiddos out of that section. Very nice!

Lovely museo with largest collection of Peruvian artifacts. Well organized and curated. Attached restaurant serves savory dishes in a beautiful setting.

The Miraflores boardwalk is a perfect stroll for visitors to take in the park life and scenes of the area. It covers the famous El Parque del Amor and the Parque Chino with great views of the Pacific Ocean. There are surfers, cafes, tennis courts and other distractions on route. It is popular with the locals and visitors to view the everyday lives of Miraflores people. It is perfect for photos and just to get away from the busy city centre.

Fancy area compare to other if u live there u cxa visit many attraction around s just by walking don’t miss the roadside it’s amazing just 12 min walk from doubletree Hilton

The boardwalk is a staple here! If you’d like to there are tons of people ready to teach you how to surf! - English speaking

Beautiful place; must walk through if you are a tourist…

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) This review is not about the hotel. It is worth flying to Lima just for this view. Along the entire coast there is a multi-meter cliff, from which a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean opens up. In the Miraflores and Baranco areas there are wonderful walking paths for many kilometers, which are interspersed with numerous small parks (in one I even managed to take a short nap), sports areas (outdoor exercise equipment, tennis courts, bike paths). You can also go down to the ocean in some places, but the beach is large-pebbled and only surfers swim here. There is a large shopping center Larcomar and a hang-gliding site. It is often cloudy here, but even in such weather you can get sunburned in just one half-day near the coast. (Original) Отзыв не про отель. В Лиму стоит лететь только из-за одного этого вида. Вдоль всего берега идет многометровый обрыв, с которого открывается великолепный обзор на Тихий океан. В районах Мирафлорес и Баранко устроены замечательные прогулочные многокилометровые дорожки, которые перемежаются многочисленными небольшими парками (в одном даже удалось немного вздремнуть), зонами для спорта (уличные тренажеры, теннисные корты, велосипедные дорожки). Также тут можно спуститься к океану в некоторых местах, но пляж крупногалечный и плавают тут только серферы. Есть крупный торговый центр Ларкомар и площадка для дельтапланеристов. Здесь часто пасмурно, но даже в такую погоду всего за один пол-дня у побережья можно сгореть.

The Miraflores neighborhood is spectacular—safe, gorgeous, and loaded with cafés and fantastic restaurants. If you’re visiting Peru, stay in this area. You won’t regret it.

This is a nice little park along the walkway linking many other parks. It is a good place to sit down and have a rest. There is a small cafe nearby to grab a coffee or soft drink.

Love park is great place to take a break and go for a walk to get good energy and positive vibe!!

It's a beautiful park, but too small with too many people. If you have plenty time, it worth to go.

Very beautiful park plus there are several parks interconnected and they are very nice with beautiful view have to see it

Nothing special. Some writings on the walls are vulgar, which I did not find romantic or poetic. It's an area full of people who want to sell you souvenirs, which gets a bit annoying given the concentration of sellers.

Cute park to sit and take great pictures. Kind of annoying the persistent people selling locks for the love fence. Other then that we had a great time.

I love this park. First time in Lima June 2025, sunny day, amazing sunset, nice people good vibes.

The tour was excellent! It lasted about 40 minutes, and the guides were very knowledgeable. The ruins are in the middle of Miraflores, right next to a great restaurant with a beautiful view of the site. Just note that the night tour doesn’t allow you to go to the top of the ruins — that’s only possible during the day.

An incredible archaeological site in the heart of Miraflores! 🏛️ The 2,000-year-old adobe pyramid showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of ancient builders. The 40-minute guided tour (S/15, available in English or Spanish) is informative and engaging. Note: the night tour doesn’t include access to the top, but we took it and still loved the experience. A must-visit for history lovers in Lima!

I recommend going here for the last tour at 4 pm before the first closing time. You'll see the place come alive from the warm light and shadows by the sun being relatively low in the sky. Just don't miss the tour - you cannot roam around alone. The tour is included in the very reasonable ticket price of 15 soles. Also mind the instructions and do not step on the adobe tiles.

Fascinating study of the dedication of the ancients in building structures covering great areas with handmade vertical bricks. On some you can even see their hand and finger prints! Our guide shared a wide scope of knowledge from all of those who lived here, their customs, foods they planted and consumed, burial rites, beliefs, skills... He was a great guide to his heritage and this enormous site in the middle of the city. (Unfortunately, there is a listing for a "minizoo" here. While seeing the 7 famous llamas, alpacas and dozens+ guinea pigs was an interesting part of the tour...that does Not qualify the Very minimum pen and feeding bin as a "zoo." There is a genuine one elsewhere. The handful of indigenousanimals here are just to enlighten visitors as to the animals the original denizens had for food, like the well-planted garden.) This is a healthy, enlightening educational walk through an amazing ancient world. (PS- Please bring some currency to show your appreciation to your fascinating guide!!)

Worth a visit but just bare in mind you must go round with a tour guide and once you've seen one part of the temple you've sort of seen it all. There were some interesting facts and it made for a good walk. There are some cute llamas or alpacas and guinea pigs 😊

I want to say I loved it, listen - it's historical and the guide was good. Spoke very good English and the Llamas / Guinea pigs at the end are cute. It's interesting, and they're still excavating. The tour takes little under an hour.. tips for the guide are nice! They do a good job. You walk up some steepish parts, and it's sandy - so don't wear slides. ;) Worth a visit... And the restaurant overlooking the ruins is fab! But gets busy. There are other restaurants just outside too. (Not overlooking the ruins) If you're in Lima and like history.. go. I was just a little bit bored at times. 🙊

Coming to this restaurant is very special … not only do u get a sense of history you get authentic peruvain taste and super culinary experience. I loved the view and felt i was seated next to something so beautiful and ancestral and ancient past of history.and the food oh wow wait till you try it this is a must see.

It was like Las Vegas to me. I found out about this place through trip advisor tours and they were charging like $24. I took a taxi from Barranco and paid 5 soles for entrance. Much better going by my own versus paying extra money. It was fun!

I really affordable fun experience for families with young children. You can definitely spend more money if you indulge in the amusements inside, but overall a really relaxing way to spend an evening in Lima I took some pictures of the amusement pricing to share here There are three showings a night of the projected show on the main fountain It does make a difference in visibility to be right at the center Concessions inside are pretty reasonably priced

The Magic Water Circuit in Lima is a beautiful and unique experience, even during the day. While most people recommend going at night for the lights and music, we visited during the day due to our airport schedule and still really enjoyed it. The fountains are stunning, the park is well maintained, and it’s a peaceful place to walk around and take photos. You can still appreciate the creativity and variety of the water displays without the nighttime light show. A great stop if you’re looking for something relaxing and scenic in the city! The only bothering thing was that they charge for using the bathroom even once you have paid to get in.

Such a beautiful park, I Kept walking past my park as I was walking around the city & every time I looked through & saw the fountains I thought I must go but nothing quite prepared me for just how beautiful it was. It is a family park so be prepared for lots of family activities & you do pay extra for certain rides, experience & entry but for me it was equivalent of a mini Disney land so the prices were beyond reasonable & the queues were nothing in comparison of what you might expect in European parks with a Sumatra offering in my experience. I highly recommend spending the day into the evening here so you get the full daylight & evening experience. Do make sure your phone is fully charged as you may want to take 1000 photos 🤣! Enjoy.

The size of a small village, this theme park type attraction has 13 fountains dotted around, fun fair rides, food stalls, kids play area, a land train. A few times a day a water display occurs much to the delight of all.

The evening water show is so cool and a great mix of water, lights, and projections to show Pervuian culture. There's also games and other activities for kids to do. The toilets are clean and provided toilet paper, though you do pay 1.50 soles to use.

It’s a nice place to spend an afternoon/evening and escape the streets a bit. There are various fountains and also a butterfly house (only 2 species are alive in winter mai to September I guess). The entry fee is 5 soles we had to pay an extra 5 soles for the tunnel/2nd part as there is a Te Amo Peru festival with various installations. Moreover there is an additional fee of 8 soles for the butterfly house. And there is also a Jurassic park/world exhibit which would be an additional 8 soles (we didn’t do that). There are plenty of games for children some food stands and the laser/light show in the evening is also a nice touch.

Chabuca Granda, for those who know a little of her history, was a Peruvian Creole singer, very well-known for her song "La Flor de la Canela. This is a great place to walk around, taste some sweet treats and some truly amazing street food. You will find some great street performers here. They have revamped the place now and the food stalls are nice and clean. So you can enjoy the food here.

Viewpoint in Lima: The Alameda Chabuca Granda The Alameda Chabuca Granda is a viewpoint located between the Government Palace and the Rímac River in Lima's historic city center. It is a place frequented by locals as well as visitors to the city, and this is largely due to its location. Because there aren't too many places in Lima from which you can get an overview of the city. The park, which has a strange red sculpture in the middle, also offers a lot of variety. This makes the Alameda Chabuca Granda the right place for entire families, young people, singles and couples. The viewpoint and its park are named after the Peruvian singer Chabuca Granda, who is known for her Creole waltzes and Afro-Peruvian rhythms.

Good place to walk around and enjoy street food. A lot of comedy and singing shows were going on

A very popular but crowded gathering point. Always music and singing and other performances. Usually by people asking for money. If you like crowded and noisy places, this is for you!

I will say that the only thing I like about this place are "Picarones" from a lady's selling cart named "Paula". The "Picarones" are amazingly delicious 😋

Interesting park or local hangout. Lots of odd seats and art work and spaces for small amphitheatres. You will find lots of locals just hanging out and eating their lunch.

It's a great place to hang out, with street vendors offering tasty food like anticuchos or pastries like "mazamorra morada" or "arroz con leche"; there's also entertainment with a couple of shows featuring street artists every night.

Nice square with colonial style and architecture, typical for similar plazas actor South America. There are some important buildings around to see. In principal, this is the most worth seeing site of the old part of the city, which otherwise doen not have much to offer.

Beautiful central area with lots of interesting sites in a walkable area including Convent of Santo Domingo, the Catacombs, many shops and restaurants. Great just to walk down the streets, grab an ice cream or a cocktail or check out the many vendors offering everything from alpaca clothing to T-shirts. All around the area are little rounded statuettes of women. I found one covered, instead of colorful paints, with reflective surface. One large stone commemorates the original Inca governing people of the area. Beautiful buildings with a variety of architectures. And the gorgeous tall water fountain in the very center of the square.

An impressive square with many historic buildings. When I was there, I enjoyed not only that, but also the fantastic parade with a wide variety of traditional costumes and music. It was wonderful to see and experience.

I recently traveled from Cusco to Lima, Peru, and was met with widespread protests. The police presence was heavy, with officers carrying full sets of weapons. The streets were blocked with trash and feces, making it difficult to navigate. To stay safe, we kept our distance and observed from afar. Areas like Miraflores and Barranco felt more secure than the city center.

We spent a leisurely day exploring the heart of Lima and made our way to the city’s beautiful main square—Plaza Mayor, also known as Plaza de Armas. This historic square is the birthplace of Lima, founded by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro in 1535, and has remained the political and cultural center of the city ever since. Surrounding the square are several of Lima’s most important colonial-era buildings, including the Government Palace, the Archbishop’s Palace, the Municipal Palace, and the Lima Cathedral. The blend of Spanish colonial architecture and vibrant local activity gives the square a timeless charm. While we were there, we were fortunate to witness a Catholic procession passing through the square—an experience that brought the city’s deep-rooted religious traditions to life. The area is perfect for capturing great photos, soaking in the local atmosphere, and appreciating Lima’s rich history and living culture.

Impressive architecture especially beautiful at night when the buildings are lit up at night. A visit into the cathedral is a must. The third Sunday in each month, there is a worthwhile tattoo by the Peruan military guard troop in the presidential courtyard.

Huge to say the least. The political/Administration capital of Peru. Home of the archbishop and were the pope stays when visiting. Amazing wood works and architecture. Heavy police presence with the army not too far behind. Don't play stupid games and you won't win stupid prizes.

Right next to Kennedy park it could just be an extension of the Kennedy park. You will continue to see cats, flowers a couple of statues. Nice walk ways with plenty of benches

This really is cat heaven and a must visit for everyone who loves cats. I had never imagined there could be a park in the center of a major metropolis filled with cats who know they own the ground they walk on. Dogs don't bother or bark at them, people walk around them when they lay in the middle of the walkway, and there is a long waiting list to adopt the few kittens that are born there. The park is a very busy place with vendors, shows, dancing, hustlers, music from the nearby cathedral, just a symphony of sound and action, but the cats are mellow and unaffected by all of it. I highly recommend visiting the park for the cats and the myriad other activities that take place throughout the week. You will not be disappointed.

Isvrelly sweet park know as the Gato or cat park. People can donate money and adopt a cat which provides shelter and food for" your cat". People come here and sit in this tranquil park in the middle of this bustling city

A really nice park, especially for fans of cats, as there are dozens of cats roaming around that are taken care by local ONGs.

After seeing so many dogs during our travels, it was a very pleasant surprise to find a park full of cats. Cats keeping people company on benches. Cats relaxing in flowers, shrubs, trees or on the lawn. Cats validating you by coming to you for a rub or a boop. A great place to see art and stop for a snack.

Beautiful Park full of cats and cat houses

Very nice park with lot of flowers and different statues to see. Not a very big park but still nice to walk around in. A lot of other stores and restaurants in the area so a great day trip destination. I didn’t see parking specifically for the park but there is a lot of businesses in the area so parking should not be too hard to find close by. Worth checking out on a nice day.

Visiting in Lima with my daughter, we were told the Catacombs were a must-see. An easy walk from the Central Plaza, after a harrowing and very, very long taxi ride from Miraflores. On the approach to Basilica, we were offered private tours for 75s and 60s, but declined. The cost of admission, 20s, includes the tour, which was scheduled every 30 minutes, about 20 people at a time. Since there is no photography allowed, pics are only of area. The tour was actually very fascinating. Thousands of remains, some arranged in beautiful circles, some arranged on steps, and others arranged in bins by the different bones. Skulls in one, legs another, breastbones, etc. A great visit, well worth the time. One display that had me doing a double-take was Christ on the cross. It seemed as though it had a 3-D effect. As I looked closer, on Christ’s head was long flowing hair that was being blown by the wind (a fan). Wish I had taken a short movie but this was the starting of tour. Definitely a must.

I wish I had spent more time here. The church is beautiful. You get a glimpse into the catacombs from inside. Tip: Entrance fee for the museum / catacombs must be paid in cash.

It was a very nice experience to save a pair dance on the street outside the cathedral. Then we entered the exhibition hall and saw. So many people's bones skulls underneath the alter of the church. It was almost a journey of about 2 hours after that we entered the cathedral, there was Maghaz going on. And this one huge crowd sitting peacefully. Listening to Father. It was an amazing experience after that to see a parade in front of the presidential quarters. The guides explained everything very well. There are clean toilets on-site and all the artefacts and the architecture reflect European influence. In peru must visit

Indiana Jones Would Approve If you come to Lima and skip this place, you’ve made a mistake. A big one. Beneath the Basílica and Convent of San Francisco lies a cryptic maze of catacombs—more than 35,000 human remains stacked in perfect circles and lined along narrow hallways like some forgotten ossuary art installation. It’s four meters under the surface, damp, echoing, and unforgettable. Entry costs about 20 soles ($5.61 USD), and yes, you’ll need a guide. No worries—local guides will approach you the moment you step foot on the property. They claim it's tip-based, but plan to pay around 10 soles ($2.80 USD) per person. Worth every sol. Our guide took just three of us through, which made the experience even more surreal. The tour lasts about 40 minutes and includes the church above. While we wandered beneath, mass was underway above us—hymns reverberating through stone and bone. It felt like stepping into an Indiana Jones film, minus the booby traps. This isn’t just a tour. It’s an encounter with the past. Visceral. Humbling. Mysterious. Come for the bones. Stay for the stories. And don’t forget to look up—you’re walking under centuries of prayers.

Interesting place to learn about the history of Lima. Be aware of the people outside offering to guide you, we were 6 of us and the person who approached us told us the price would 30 soles per person including the entry tickets. After we agreed we took the tour that lasted around 30 minutes and by the end of it he said he told us 30 soles per person on top of the entry tickets. Pretty sad places like this one have scammers offering services onsite.

Very beautiful church and catacombs. Sadly you are not allowed to take pictures.

Cool place, an interesting way for locals and tourists to learn about the history.

Seems like a nice building from the outside, but there’s obvious racism at the gates. Bunch of locals went in but the guy shuts the gate in our faces saying “no” and pretending he doesn’t understand. Peruvian hospitality...

Good

Nice building, but you only get to see it from outside. The small museum located on the same square didn't look appealing enough for me to enter.

It was a nice little stop. But I did notice a couple of young fellers eyeing my camera and following me around. There are lots of police nearby and the shops are pricey. The Catacombs are worth the trip if you have never seen thousands of skeleton bones. Save your money for Puno by Lake Titicaca, prices are very cheap there at the local markets. Cusco was a little pricey. Machu Picchu was extremely pricey. Bolivia was ok for prices as well, but Puno was the best.

Free tours, but bring your passport for identification. Free English tours may not run if there aren't enough people.

Pretty building. Not sure how pretty the activities inside are. There seems to be a lot of cop-polishing going on

Great place to visit, whether you are a local or a tourist.

Grear beach overall but lacks public bathrooms and one needs to go into a restaurant or hotel for that

Comfy and private

Good

Great getaway. Beautiful park with lots of activities for kids. Make a day of it, play, swim, have lunch.

Good place to enjoy with the children. Very good food and drink

Great place for families even on summer weekends.

(Translated by Google) A very nice club. We went on a holiday and it was uncrowded. It has three pools: two for adults and one for children. It also has soccer and volleyball courts (with a net). Restrooms are located throughout the club. Horseback riding and ATV tours are available. It also has barbecue grills for rent, a restaurant, free parking, and access to the river. It's located next to the highway. Admission is 20 soles for adults and 10 soles for children and seniors over 65. The downside is that there was no water from the afternoon onwards, so the bathrooms were dirty at that time. We also couldn't shower after leaving the pool. Water is essential for cleanliness and shouldn't be missing. The restaurant has dishes for 25 and 30 soles, but the service is poor. It could be better. Bring plenty of insect repellent.

También cuenta con parrillas en alquiler, restaurante, estacionamiento gratis y acceso al río. Está ubicado al lado de la carretera. La entrada en 20 soles adultos y 10 soles niños y mayores de 65. Lo malo es que no había agua apartir de la tarde por lo que los baños a esa hora se encontraban sucios. Tampoco pudimos ducharnos al salir de la piscina. El agua es fundamental para la limpieza y no debería faltar. El restaurant tiene platos de 25 y 30 soles, pero la atención es deficiente. Puede mejorar. Llevar bastante repelente.

Beautiful beach. More of a locals place. Be careful if your a tourist. Especially one from America

Some people trying to make public resource as their own private and privileged property. Local governments block all the enter into the beaches, only allow those cars with special permission. Don’t tell me there is no case about corruption.

Santa Maria has everything you could want on a beach and is beautiful and perfect to stay all the days you want, if you want the perfect views you should stay on the apartment with sea view and enjoy the lovely sunset while the boats pass by, the beach in itself is big and you can rent a spot so that you have your own umbrella, the important thing that anyone going to santa María should know is that the sea in this beach is quite strong meaning that if you go near the waves you'll have a bad time unless you're a good swimmer

This beach is somewhat sheltered from the masses as its 20 minutes off the highway, with a feeling of privacy. The new upscale condos around it give it a private club vibe.

Saturday 28 January 2023, 3 dead birds and one pelican dying and no one is doing nothing, is it bird flu or no....

It is a good beach, it's safe and nice

At this time Jan 10th weather is not good. Sea water is brown, dirty, windy.

The homemade hash was delicious as was the quinoa egg bowl, stuffed French toast, pancakes, and egg sandwich. Everything was fresh and delicious!

Wonderful wonderful place, so calmy, indcredibly view very recommended place!

Best beach view and there is a medium Size pool is also there. Best Buy place for vacationers

Nice location n have swimming pool as well. Nice place for summer vacations

Quite place and beautiful beach.. delicious food too.

It is peaceful place to enjoyed in the beach and lot of things are we get from this beach

Super place to visit with friends, food is very tasty 😋

This place deserves just as much attention as Machu Pichu. It's a shame that the government has stopped funding and stopped excavating this historic location. A must visit for all

Very interesting and significant site. Very informative guide tour (free but offer a donation to the volunteer guide). Highly recommended.

Super

(Translated by Google) This archaeological area was discovered a dozen years ago and excavation and research began. It is a pleasant experience that is done with a volunteer hui who has been trained by the Ministry of Culture. The ruins can be visited in half an hour with interesting commentary.

(Translated by Google) It is a relatively small place. But it is well organized. The people who serve were friendly. They asked for financial collaboration for the tour and for having guided. Well, they indicated that they do not have a salary from the ministry. At the end of the tour at the exit there is a toilet service. Inside the complex there is no toilet, only portable ones. There is no access for people in wheelchairs. Wear comfortable clothes, you have to go up and down a stretch of the road. (Original) Es un lugar relativamente pequeño. Pero esta bien organizado. Las personas que atienden fueron amables. Pidieron colaboración de dinero por el recorrido y el haber guiado. Pues indicaron que no tienen sueldo del ministerio.

Lleven ropa cómoda, hay que subir y bajar un tramo del camino.

(Translated by Google) You are provided with guidance by non-professional staff trained by the state, called promoters. In addition to the entrance fee, which is between 4 and 2 euros (4 for adults and 2 for seniors), you must tip for the guides. The service begins at 6 am. I don't have a closing time. It's preferable to go with a guide because the information provided by the government, such as infographics, isn't very comprehensive. You can also go with Toru, but neither admission nor guidance within the complex is included. (Original) Tiene guiado pro parte de personal no profesional educados por el estado, los cuales se llaman promotores.

No tengo hora de termino de horario laboral. De preferencia vaya con guía porque las indicaciones dejadas por el gobierno como infografías no son muy extensas en contenido. También puede ir con Toru pero no incluirán ni entrada ni guiado dentro del complejo.

Very beautiful natural place, at an altitude of 4000 m, with also well preserved chullpas (pre-Inca tombs, Recuay culture, VIIth c.) and dead city. But: - the inhabitants of San Pedro de Casta are a little damaged by mass tourism: not so welcoming. - you have to pay a tax of 15 soles per person (50% inflation in 2 years...; 30 soles for foreigners), for ZERO SERVICE, except the maintenance of an earth track (and without a sign at the start: do not not pass under the Marcahuasi gantry in 4 * 4 but ; if we had to pay as much for each track in the country, no more people would be able to move) and uninteresting stone "facilities" that are hardly useful to anyone. - hordes of limenios pitch their tent on weekends, imposing on others their noise (music to their individual taste) until late and leaving their garbage on site (too tiring to bring back what they have been able to bring for themselves) - in the village: no public water, the small Museum is closed, and nobody had the key of the church on that day either.

Fantastic views from this place but the trek is NOT easy if you plan to take all of your camping equipment but yourself (I'd strongly recommend taking a donkey). One extremely important thing to note is that there are two paths once you walk half way up. (the 'short' and the 'long' path). Do not be fooled by this, the short path is steeper and will get you to the entrance of Marcahuasi quicker but it is at least another 1km from the entrance to the camp site so you are MUCH better taking the easier, longer route as they both equate to the same distance to the campsite (overall). Once you're at the top, it is absolutely breath taking but prepare for a lot of loud noise from dogs and donkeys at the top (morning and night). Also, bring your own firewood as the firewood we bought from the vendors was pretty useless.

Beautiful Waterfall. You have to walk about 15-20 minutes to reach it. Highly recommended.

I loved the place, the nature and the waterfall, an excellent roadtrip to enjoy alone or with friends. 💚✨✨✨

Congrats for this tourist place special to use the materials from the area although one rail was broken.I suggest put mesh in some areas rail to avoid accidents and prevent health issues eith the guides dogs without vaccines certification neither collars. Thxs

You can park for free in the town. In reality, there are really several water falls to visit, we saw only one but I am not sure how much it was to enter although I don't think it was expensive...we got there a little late in the day so we were the last "group" to make the trek up to those falls. Come prepared with plenty of water (you can purchase that & any snacks at any of tne little "tienditas" or stores in the town), good walking/climbing shoes & comfortable clothing...views are AMAZING all the way up the curvy, sometimes rocky, sometimes narrow & sometimes poopie trail 😣😄 (most likely from the few stray but well behaved dogs & the few donkeys we found off to the side of the trail). I HIGHLY recommend bringing bug repellant...we forgot ours but were told to crush the leaves of a feathery fern-like plant (sorry cannnot remember the name) that you will see pretty much everywhere along the path & rub the fragrant (almost citronelly) secretions on your arms & legs because it is a natural mosquito repellant. Unfortunately, I was the only one in my party that did not do this & later realized that I ended up with some SERIOUS monster sized bug bites...😕😥. Besides this, take your time & make sure to stop at the various "rest areas" to catch your breath since you will be at a higher altitude then normal...not as high as Cusco but higher then Lima (central city). Make sure to take lots of pics along the way & once you get there, too. And for around 15 soles there is even an opportunity to scale down the side of the waterfalls 👍😀. Even though it was their first time, my 13 & 10 year old (the youngest had a little help getting down) were able to do it with ease & was a great experience for them. Overall we highly recommend visiting & experiencing the beautiful nature & weather & friendly people.

Paseo

Very nice 👌

Very nice

A nice natural place in the Junín region. It is really easy to get there by car. No public transportation is easily available, though. Also if you feel confortable at trekking at around 12 thousand feet over sea level, you can get to the top of the canyon. Be careful with acrophobia ;) There aren’t many restaurants near so pack a bit of dry food and things like that. It is quite cold here

A beautiful and peaceful rocky place in the heart of Perú.

Hermoso .very beautiful

(Translated by Google) The energy of this place is impressive! I recommend dressing warmly as it's windy, and don't wear red clothing as there are bulls in the path! The walk from the entrance to the viewpoint is a slow, leisurely 30-minute hike! Horseback riding or ATV riding are available! (Original) La energia del lugar es impresionante! Recomiendo ir abrigado ya que corre el viento, no llevar prendas en color rojo ya que hay toros en el camino! La caminata desde la entrada hasta el mirador son 30 mins modo lento y pausado! Hay opcion de montar a caballo o cuatrimoto!

(Translated by Google) My visit to Shujto Canyon was a wonderful adventure filled with breathtaking scenery. I want to share some helpful tips for those thinking about going. First of all, it's important to know that there's no restaurant on-site, only snacks are available, so it's highly recommended to have a good breakfast before you go, especially if you plan to leave early in the morning. The hike to the canyon takes approximately one hour. It's not very strenuous, but keep in mind that the altitude is noticeable, so it's a good idea to bring alcohol or other products that help mitigate the effects of altitude, especially if you're not used to it. The hike is divided into two parts: one flat and easy, and the other uphill, as the canyon is located high on a hill. That's why it's essential to wear a hat, cap, or poncho, depending on the weather, as the weather can change quickly. Once at the top, the views are spectacular. They truly seem like something out of a dream. You can contemplate the full grandeur of nature, and it's an ideal place to take stunning photos. In short, Shukhto Canyon is a natural gem worth visiting. With a little preparation, the experience can be magical. (Original) Mi visita al Cañón de Shujto fue una aventura maravillosa y llena de paisajes que quitan el aliento. Quiero compartir algunos consejos útiles para quienes estén pensando en ir. Primero que nada, es importante saber que en el lugar no hay restaurante, solo se consiguen snacks, así que es muy recomendable desayunar bien antes de ir, especialmente si planeas salir temprano por la mañana.La caminata hasta el cañón dura aproximadamente una hora. No es muy pesada, pero hay que tener en cuenta que la altitud se siente, así que conviene llevar alcohol u otros productos que ayuden a mitigar los efectos de la altura, sobre todo si no estás acostumbrado. El recorrido se divide en dos partes: una plana y tranquila, y otra con subida, ya que el cañón está ubicado en lo alto de un cerro. Por eso es clave llevar sombrero, gorra o poncho, según el clima, porque el tiempo puede cambiar rápidamente. Una vez arriba, las vistas son espectaculares. De verdad, parecen sacadas de un sueño. Se puede contemplar toda la grandeza de la naturaleza, y es un lugar ideal para tomar fotos impresionantes.En resumen, el Cañón de Shujto es una joya natural que vale totalmente la pena visitar. Con un poco de preparación, la experiencia puede ser mágica.

(Translated by Google) Shutjo Canyon, located in Canchayllo, Jauja province, is an impressive rock formation created by the erosion of the Piñascocha River. Its walls reach up to 60 meters high, creating a natural landscape of great beauty, ideal for hiking and adventure. The hike to the rock formations is along a marked trail, but the ascent to the top of the canyon is steep. Dress appropriately and wear appropriate footwear, as well as bring plenty of sunscreen. The landscape is ideal for taking stunning photographs and creating a memorable experience for everyone. (Original) El Cañón de Shutjo, ubicado en Canchayllo, provincia de Jauja, es una impresionante formación rocosa producto de la erosión del río Piñascocha. Sus paredes alcanzan hasta 60 metros de altura, creando un paisaje natural de gran belleza, ideal para el senderismo y la aventura. La caminata hasta las formaciones rocosas es por un sendero señalizado, pero el ascenso a la parte superior del cañon es empinado. Hay que vestir y calzar adecuadamente y llevar mucho bloqueador solar para el sol. El paisaje que se divisa es ideal para tomar unas fotografías impresionantes y de un grato recuerdo para toos.

Beautiful central square with a fountain and a few benches around. Nice to walk around. Highly recommended.

It's a most and wonderful place, if you like tradition and peaceful, you must visit Tarma...

Very nice city!!

Nice place, awsome landscapes.

Lovely!

Like many Plazas de armas in small cities, it is the center of action in a city. But wasn't much action going on at this one Plaza de armas. It needs some illumination, more restaurants and weekend activities to push people to hang in there.

Tarma are very good City, with beutiful place are frendly people.

A nice church and the place is wonderful. You can arrive there by car, bus, bike, motorbike or walking.

(Translated by Google) The route to get to the cross should be improved around the stairs, wooden handrails and trees should be made and the entire contour raised. Furthermore, the ruins are very neglected because the mayor does not improve it because it is a very beautiful tourist place and it should make a viewpoint (Original) La ruta para llegar a la cruz debería ser mejorada en el alrededor de las escaleras debería acerse pasamanos de madera y árbol izar todo el contorno además las ruinas estan muy descuidadas por q el alcalde no lo mejora por q es un lugar turístico muy hermoso y debería hacerse un mirador

(Translated by Google) It has a good view, an excellent viewpoint for the city of Jauja, on the side it has ruins of the Incas (Original) Tiene buena vista, excelente mirador para la ciudad de Jauja al costado tiene ruinas de los incas

(Translated by Google) I advise taking the detour that goes to the viewpoint (it is safer), the direct stairs to the cross are very steep and there are parts covered by dirt and stones, it is true that there are no handrails and landings at least in this access (in the another there are breaks every certain section), please do not throw away your garbage...if you happen to go towards the antennas, be very careful, there are people who live there and have very aggressive dogs that go straight to bite... (Original) Aconsejo ir por el desvío que va hacia el mirador(es más seguro), las escaleras directas hacia la cruz están muy empinadas y hay partes cubiertas por tierra y piedras, es cierto que faltan pasamanos y descansos por los menos en este acceso (en el otro hay descansos cada cierto tramo), por favor no boten su basura...si se les ocurre ir hacia las antenas tengan mucho cuidado, hay gente que vive por ahí y tiene perros muy agresivos que se lanzan directo a morder...
