Culture Mixture

 Chucuito Callao, an imitation of Caminito in Argentina. The common thing between these two neibourhoods is that they received a huge number of foreigners who settle in the place. Especially Italian and Spanish.



Our very well-known Real Felipe fortress has an influence which comes from France. This fortress was built from 1747-1774 and from 1776-1781. In order to protect the coast line from pirates defenses in case of war. The viceroy Pedro Alvarez de Toledo decided that Lima should have walls, especially in its port.

Now, we can visit this fortress with special tours. More information:

We also have a mixture in sports such as Rowing, Yatching, scuba-diving. aqua-moto. In addition to this, we got space for taking sun and swimming. But, it compare to other beaches, La Punta-Callao has rocks instead of sand, so make sure to take aqua socks for this activity. Don´t worry about urchins and animals, because this sea is too cold for preserving animals near.




And of course, some parks, avenues and houses, maintain a colonial trend. In this case, we are talking about spanish and french arquitecture.

Watch out!
