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!

Museum of the Inquisition
In Bolivar Plaza in central Lima you'll find the popular Inquisition museum in a mansion whose basement dungeons were used by the Spanish Inquisition from the 16th through early 19th centuries before it become the Senate building. Tour exhibits exploring the Inquisition's history and impact and view the torture chambers and some of the instruments used on heretics in the subterranean torture chambers. There's a life- size wax exhibit in the basement demonstrating the interrogative methods used.
Marcahuasi Plateau
The high plateau of Marcahuasi (House of the Mountain) near the town of San Pedro de Casta, about 48 miles inland from Lima, has long had a reputation for natural beauty and the paranormal; here you'll find many marked options for scenic hikes. On holiday weekends, hundreds of campers arrive to hike among the massive unique rock formations formed by wind erosion, including figures famously resembling people and different animals, and to enjoy an incomparable view of the starry night sky.
National Museum
Visit the largest museum in Lima, the Museo de la Nación, for a complete cultural history of Peru from its first inhabitants through the present day. Progress through the centuries of successive Peruvian cultures as explained through the ceramics, metals, and textiles they left behind. Colonial, popular, and contemporary art exhibits combine with Ballet, Folkloric, Orchestral, Choral, and other hosted events throughout the year to introduce nationals and foreigners alike to Peruvian culture.
Ceviche
There are many different versions of ceviche throughout the Andes and other Latin American countries, but it's the Lima version that's become popular in international cuisine of late. Chunks of firm white fish tossed with lime juice, onions, chili pepper, and seasonings allows the acidic lime to slightly cook the fish, resulting in a fresh and tangy dish often touted as a hangover cure. Try the classic La Mar in Miraflores or pick up the local guide "Guia Gastronomica" for suggestions.
