Lima Travel Guide

Lima's pre-hispanic and colonial architecture are interesting and the city has several museums that tell the story of a country with a long history that produced a large number of coastal and Andean civilizations (such as the Moche, Chavin, and the Incas) and many local cultures.

About Lima

Lima covers an area of 310.5 sq. miles (804.3 square Km) and is estimated to have a population of 7.9 million people being the capital and largest city of Peru. It is located in the valleys of the Chillón, Rímac and Lurín rivers, on a coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Museo de Arte Colonial Pedro de Osma

Museo de Arte Colonial Pedro de OsmaThis private museum, located in a historic Barranco mansion (Palacio de Osma), focuses on colonial Peruvian art from areas that were among the most distinguished cultural centers of the day, including Cusco, Arequipa, and Ayacucho.

As with the Amano Museum, you’ll need to call for an appointment, although you can also drop by and hope to get a guide with a sympathetic ear. Plan on spending an hour here.
