The ocean is a woman and it’s time we all accept it
Posted by: morgan cooper
The last 4 days in Lima have been an introduction to the modern city of “Lima” and exposure to the evidence of cultures of previous versions of “Lima”. Today I visited Huaca Pucllana which was a temple pyramid dedicated to Lima goddess of the ocean. The Lima occupied this area and constructed this temple complex […] read full post >>

Posted by: zyasmin
I am currently on my fourth day in Lima! In the time we’ve had so far, I’ve already been through so many experiences. I arrived in Lima at about 6:00 am on May 23rd.

When visiting major tourist sites, it’s common to encounter sellers of snacks or ornamental items. These sellers are often older women, who are accompanied by a child. I ran into a few of these sellers in the residential part of San Isidro as well, which I wasn’t expecting. Neither was I expecting it to be […] read full post >>
Mapping out Lima
Posted by: eaflucki
My first four days (90-ish kilometers) in Lima have been packed with sites and experiences that I’m still sorting out mentally. As I’m sure you all know by now, my preferred mode of transportation is on foot. My reasons for this are varied, primary being that I’m am a slave to my Apple Watch (lol) […] read full post >>
