The sun slides low over the Pacific and the old center of Lima begins to take on a warm, amber edge—plaza lamps blink on, and the stone facades start to show their century-old faces. You move from broad colonial squares into narrower pedestrian streets, the air carrying a mix of sea breeze, exhaust, and frying oil from late-night vendors. In this evening walk you stand at the threshold of the San Francisco Convent, descend into its cool catacombs, and watch the Government Palace silhouette against a darkening sky.
