On my first day in Peru, we nearly got caught i a construction workers’ strike,,survived death-defying taxi rides and visited the tomb of Spanish Conquistador Francisco Pizzaro in the cathedral in Lima Centro. It was an incredible church, originally built as a small chapel in 1541 and expanded on until its completion in 1622. On a Tuesday morning it was a blessed respite from the gathering riot police outside. Welcome to South America.
