EXCEPT visit the Plaza de Armas, Catedral Basilica of Lima, or Miraflores, there is a decent one you visit when a visit to Lima, Peru. This place is a central store of wealth or treasure trove of Peru, the Museo Larco. Museo Larco is a private museum containing a collection of about 45,000 posts Inca, Nazca and Chimu some artifacts, including a collection of pictorial erotic. The museum is located at Av. Bolivar 1515, Pueblo Libre, Lima.
Museo Larco has been established since 85 years ago and continues to collect ancient collections. Almost every museum collection is aged 9,000 years ago. The area outside the museum has been fixed. Large sculptures are colored in contrast to the orchids that look brighter and bougainvillea flowers in the ancient pyramid of the 7th century still made in the park.
Nearby, there is also a new cafe and restaurant created by an interior design Jordi Puig. Museo Larco open every day from 9 am local time until 6 pm local time. Info is on museolarco.org slengkapnya.
The Inca Trail is undoubtedly Peru’s most popular trekking route. Recommended for the physical fit only, it runs for more than 40km and reaches 4,200 m.a.s.l. at its highest point, the Warmiwañuska or Dead Woman’s Pass. The stone-paved trail, discovered in 1960 and part of the more than 23,000 km of roads built by the Incas across South America, crosses a remarkable range of natural landscapes and eco-systems, from thick tropical jungle to the bear, unwelcoming rocks of the Andean mountains. All in all it’s probably the most beautiful walk in South America.
The Trail takes three to four days of tough hiking, and can be commenced at Chillca (Kilometre 76 of the Cusco-Machu Picchu railway) or, most frequently, at Qorihuayrachina, Kilometre 88 of the railway.
The first day is relatively easy, and includes along the route the Inca ruins of Cusichaca, Q’ente, Pulpituyoc, and Llaqtapata, a site used for crop production remained well preserved. The second day is the hardest of all, mainly because the ascent becomes increasingly steep. The trail follows original Inca stonework that climbs uphill, ending just short of the actual Warmiwañuska or Dead Woman’s pass, at 4,200 m.a.s.l. Read the rest of this entry »
