What is a Peru travel when you only keep going to what’s famous and what’s common? Although you would certainly hear the very common, ‘you haven’t really been to peru if you haven’t been to Machu Picchu’, make sure that in one of your trips to Peru, you try something new. This time make it Peru tours focusing on what’s not commonly promoted. Let’s try Callao, Peru. What does it have that should allow you to enjoy your Peru tour?
For starters, Callao is considered a city, but certainly smaller than that of Lima. It was discovered a couple of years after Lima and it is also considered to be the main port for Spanish commerce. Callao has the military base and it also has the sanctuary of sea lions and live birds of different species living in the several islands around Callao. The number of seafood restaurants abounds in Callao and during summer, the city is certainly alive not only of tourists who stay in the beautiful beaches Callao has to offer.
If you are looking for something historical, Callao certainly has that as well. They have the Callao’s military museum focusing on military weaponry. Callao has the governor’s house as well as the Knight of Twelve Canons. So if you are thinking of something new, yet old with what Peru is really known for, make it a different type of experience, and yet not really losing what Peru is all about.
