Cerro San Cristobal — Attraction in Lima Metropolitan Area

Getting here through the narrow streets was a little scary for someone from the U.S.. Taxi driver said it's not safe, and the little village to pass through was a little shady.

Este mismo bus nos llevó a pasear por algunas zonas turísticas de los alrededores, fue chévere la experiencia, pero subes al cerro tal cuál rezando...🙏😳 Una vez arriba, la vista es chévere, es uno de los apus antiguos de Lima, incluso hay velitas en forma de cruz para ofrendar o hacer un rezo.
