Parque de las Leyendas, zoo and ruins

Parque de las Leyendas, a zoo built among the ruins of a pre-Inca city, somehow manages to mix ecology and archaeology, attracting hundreds of Peruvian families each day. Off the usual tourist trail for foreigners, it could make a good half-day trip and is a great chance to learn about Peru’s rich biodiversity and about Lima’s ancient past.

Huachipa

Huachipa

Huachipa is a little town in the hills outside Lima that boasts a rather large zoo – Not nearly as big as Parque de Las Leyendas in Lima, which i’ll check out soon, but it does have a miniature version of the Eden Project that is in the UK ;) . They also have motorbike rickshaws, motortaxis, here, which you don’t see in the city.
