The colour, the architecture, the little quiet park in front of it. So beautiful. I make a note of the address and walk back to see it. And I just have to go back every day and watch this beautiful building. This is Lima!
The only direct Avianca flight from Porto Alegre Brazil to Lima Peru, as operated by Trans American Airlines, is scheduled for 6:25am. Very early morning!
