About Callao (Lima)
Callao, Peru's first port, lies about half an hour from the centre of Lima. Its best-known sight is the Real Felipe Fortress, built by the Spanish to protect Lima and its port from pirates; today it houses the Peruvian Army Museum, with old tanks and cannons, the Governor's House and a viewpoint over the whole port. Nearby La Punta has a seafront walk lined with old republican houses and many restaurants, and boat tours leave from Callao or La Punta for the Palomino Islands. Lima's Miraflores district and historic Plaza Mayor are 14-18 km away by road.
