Lima | Panoramic view from Cerro San Cristobal

WI_pe097_302.jpg

View from the slopes of Cerro San Cristobal over the central and S parts of Lima in S direction. The hillslope neighbourhood in the foreground goes back to a land invasion decades ago. Río Rímac crosses the upper centre of the scene from left to right. Some coastal fog, known as garúa, can be seen in the very background. At this time of the year, there is still chance of sun and good views, but during the winter season starting few weeks later, the city will be almost permanently overcast by the garúa.
