Lima | View from Cerro San Cristobal

WI_pe097_304.jpg

View from the slopes of Cerro San Cristobal over the central and S parts of Lima in SW 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 left central background. Some coastal fog, known as garúa, appears in the very background of the photo.
