Intro to Lima
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/31/04
We sort of discovered this place on our first day in Peru and found it fascinating. The library-stacked bricks (vertical instead of horizontal) were not seen again on the trip. It's a huge complex still being excavated and our guide, Alex, despite claiming to only speak Spanish and Japanese well, was very informative. The hairless dogs running around the complex, though strikingly ugly, were interesting--a high body temp makes them popular for keeping sick children warm. Admission is free, though, of course, tip your guide.
