Cercado, Lima

Museo de Arqueología Josefina Ramos de Cox
In the lovely house of the war hero Benardo O'Higgins (19th Century War of the Pacific, with Chile), a well-selected collection of pre-Columbian art that is tiny by Lima standards, but would be worth a detour anywhere else. Jirón de la Union was once a fashionable street, with very interesting architecture if you look above the run of tacky ground floor shops.
