The working-class neighbourhood of Rímac lies on the other side of the Puente Piedra (17C stone bridge), not far from the Plaza de Armas. Exquisite churches and authentic homes stand at the foot of the Cerro San Cristóbal, from the top of which Lima can be seen stretching into the distance. Generally speaking, visitors should avoid wandering about in this neighbourhood. Get a taxi or join an organised tour.
