"el campo de Marte" or the "fields of Mars", a vast green area right in the heart of central Lima. An excellent place to hang out, relax, take in fresher air, do exercise and so much more... A place known to be THE hang out spot for upcoming dance choreography groups, and thus a good way to get a great feel of roots dance group moves from the most traditional to the ever more popular k-pop formations! All sorts of groups rehearse here for your deleite. Skateboarders will be at home here also, with a skatepark and A VERY important limeño skate spot close by, consisting of a series of ultra ground and waxed ledges in escalating sizes. Sktpark charges 1sol every fee and requires helmets! Calisthenics is practised all the way around this gorgeous green haven, as it is bordered by sprouting oasises of state invested exercise equipment, said equipment can vary greatly in state of repair, as can the Peruvian state in general. Finally, In my opinion, the best usage of the Martian meadows can be obtained when large free festivales are staged within the widths of this vital pulmonary paradise. IS THIS PARK SAFE??? hey, this is Lima!!! Nowhere is safe!!! But for a Lima 1 to 10 scale, this place scores a seven (7) , within the boundaries enclosure, some exit points are more suspect than others! Enjoy Lima!!! P.s. do not miss a single thing on any menu, anywhere! The food is the best part about being in this part of...

This contrast reveals the intricate duality that characterizes urban spaces, where beauty and social discord often coexist in a delicate yet captivating...
Read moreQué bueno que haya lugares como este para el sano esparcimiento de grandes y chicos, está abierto todos los días de la semana de forma gratuita y una vez dentro del parque hay mucho por disfrutar: puedes alquilar una bicicleta por 10 soles 1 hora y pasear por ciclovía marcada dentro del parque, también hay una bicicleta para 4 personas a 20 soles 30 minutos, puedes sentarte en las bancas a leer plácidamente, pasear solo o con tu mascota(está permitido) hacer un picnic, jugar, etc. Hay varios tachos para que dejes el parque limpio y hay seguridad fuera a cargo de serenazgo que pasa relativamente seguido, lo que si sugeriría es regar seguido el parque porque había áreas que se veían secas y darle mantenimiento a las pistas dentro del parque, los niños en bici se meten en los huecos y pueden caer o si van con scooters también por esos huecos se pueden accidentar. Por lo demás, pasen una tarde bonita en familia en el parque, se los recomiendo. PD. Puedes estacionar fuera del parque, hay un amplio estacionamiento y siempre hay cuidadores para que puedan chequear tu carro en lo que dure tu visita. Lleva agua, algunas veces hay opción de comprar...
