Palacio De Gobierno: Presidential Palace

  • Presidential Palace

  • The Presidential Palace in Lima is located on the Zocalo for Lima. The Zocalo is quite large, with the palace occupying one side. As my travels in Lima were quite limited, I could not tell you how to find this palace, but most people in Lima would be happy to point out the directions to you.

    Plaza Mayor And Surroundings: Francisco Pizzaro
  • Tip Rating:
  • I would not necessarily describe this as a must see activity, but close to the Presidential Palace is this statue of Francisco Pizzaro, the Spaniard who conquered the Inca empire. I find it interesting that they have a statue to honor this man, when in reality, Lima and the country of Peru was better off under the Inca Empire than it is now.

     Dave, I cannot believe, that I have missed this page all along!! Wow, what an experience! I wonder, if you took more pictures this time!

     It must have been a very special experience to live in LIma as a missionary. So you got to see places tourits don't see. Great page!!

     Hey Dave. I'd love to hear more about your experiences in Lima. I'm sure you could offer valuable insight into a city that most choose to pass over in favour of tourist destinations. That's of course in all your spare time between the wife and 3 kids ;-)

     Despite its problems, I found Lima to be an interesting and vibrant city.
