Welcome to Pirwa Hostels in Lima
Lima has gone through many incarnations in its long history, from home to various important pre-Columbian civilizations such as the Chimú and the Inca, to Vice-Royal Capital in the colonial times, to modern cosmopolitan city. The capital of Peru abounds in contrasts; exploring its streets you'll find pre-Incan pyramids, ornate colonial mansions, relaxing green parks and ultramodern high rises. Tandem hang-glide from its beachside cliffs, tour the subterranean crypts of San Francisco, admire the famous gallery of erotic pottery at the Larco Museum, visit the Plaza Mayor UNESCO heritage site to see the 16th century cathedral where conquistador and Lima founder Francisco Pizarro laid the first stone or the remains of Peruvian saints in Santo Domingo, let yourself be awed by the gaudy artifacts recovered from tomb robbers at the Gold Museum, sample the increasingly popular cuisine of Lima, especially the national dish, ceviche......The list goes on and on!

Cultural Park
The green lawn of the Parque de la Cultura, built in the 1800s, is a nice place to rest in the sunshine if you need some respite from the city life. It's marked by an amphitheater and Japanese gardens and houses two of Lima's best art museums, the Lima Museum of Art (MALI) and the Lima Metropolitan Museum. It's important to note that the current Parque de la Cultura was formerly the Parque de la Exposición, a name which locals still use, and the one your taxi driver will probably recognize.
Royal Felipe Fort
The 18th century stone fortress of Royal Felipe on the Port of Callao was built in a pentagonal shape with a place for cannons at each point and towers at 2 points. Named for King Philip V, its purpose was to defend against British pirates and privateers lured by the possibility of Inca gold. It was a player in the War of Independence and in the first years of independence the fortress provided refuge for the new government and parliament, inspiring San Martín to name it "Independence Castle".
Pedro de Osma Colonial
This museum in the Barranco suburb of Lima comprises 2 mansions collectively known as Osma Palace built in 1906. Owner and art collector Don Pedro de Osma Gildemeister converted his home into galleries where he personally guided visiting dignitaries through priceless works. The museum displays colonial paintings, sculptures, metalwork, stonework, and furniture from cultural centers such as Cusco, Arequipa, and Ayacucho, and at the restoration shop you can watch conservation techniques in action.
Government Palace
The official residence of the President of Peru is the French-inspired Government Palace in Lima's Plaza de Armas. It was built on the site of the house of Taulichusco, ruler of the Rimac Valley. It was from here that liberator José San Martín declared Peru's Independence. If you'd like a tour it must be arranged at least a day in advance through the Jefatura de Turismo, or you can just stop by the iron gates at noon between Monday and Friday and watch the changing of the palace guards.
