For my final day in Lima before meeting my G-Adventures travel group, I walked down to the beach and then to the Huaca Pucllana pyramid and ruins.

Surfers – and surfing schools – filled the waters off of Miraflores

Beautiful!

Hang-glider

Very dry climate!  I’m also curious how the hills don’t slide into the ocean…

Huaca Pucllana Pyramid: “Built by millions of adobe bricks, these ruins once served as an administrative center and a pre-Inca ceremonial site dedicated to the God Pachacamac.“
