GAY TOUR: PEDRO DE OSMA MUSEUM-BARRANCO ( English/ Español)

Lima has many nice areas to visit. Barranco is the bohemian heart of the city - a pleasant suburb of Lima that has kept its character on the seafront. Barranco is one of Lima's main nightspots, and there are plenty of good bars and discos in the area, which come to life at sundown. During the day, Barranco is a relaxed, tranquil place, almost like a town stopped in time, making a nice escape from downtown Lima. It is also a relaxing place to stay if you want to get away from the bustle of the city.

Barranco has been a Summer resort area from the 19th Century onwards. It is still possible to see traditional houses built by rich families, as well as nice areas such as: The Bridge of Sighs, the main plazat and the Ermita, an old church built in the XIX. On our tour we take the old tram to visit the Pedro de Osma Museum, a extraordinary collection of paintings on linen cloth, metal, wood, glass and leather.

They date from 16th to 19th Centuries, many are by well-known artists. You can admire beautiful religious imagery. There are pictures of historic Peruvians and Inca People. All of the art was created in the most important centres of the Peruvian Viceroyalty, the cities of Cuzco, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Trujillo, etc. Peruvian religious art from the 16th, 17th and 18th century.

The house was built by Don Pedro de Osma y Pardo in 1906. Two buildings compose the house, front and back. The rear has the dining room. Both buildings are French styled and eclectic. Art Nouveau windows, metal ceilings, wrought plaster and spiders of crystal shine brilliantly in more than ten halls.The buildings are surrounded by gardens with marble sculptures and secluded spaces surrounded by palms and geraniums.

Lima tiene muchas areas lindas de visitar: Barranco es una de ellas. Hermoso barrio ubicado sobre el acantilado, es el distrito bohemio de la ciudad. Un lugar donde la quietud y armonia es su principal caracteristica. Pero tambien es el lugar de bares y restaurantes, que empiezan a funcionar cuando el sol. Durante el dia, un lugar tranquilo y apacible, donde el tiempo parece haberse detenido, y se puede escapar del bullicio de la gran urbe .
Barranco fue el lugar de verano de la ciudad durante el siglo 19. Y aun es posible encontrar hermosas casonas construidas por sus habitantes que venian a este vecindario solo en los meses de verano. Tambien es posible ver entre sus atractivos un hermoso puente llamado El Puente de los Suspirus, la plaza principal, la iglesia local y a llamada Ermita, antiguo oratorio que dio origen al pueblo en el siglo XIX.
