Lima | View from Cerro San Cristobal

WI_pe097_303.jpg

View from the slopes of Cerro San Cristobal over the central and S parts of Lima in S direction. Río Rímac crosses the centre of the scene from left to right. The hillslope settlement in the foreground goes back to a land invasion decades ago and is inhabited by economically challenged people. It stands in sharp contrast to the skyscrapers of San Isidro shown in the central background. Some coastal fog, known as garúa, can be seen in the right background.
