Park of the Exposition, Lima

Just next door to the National Stadium lies the Exposition Park. This space was created for the 19th century Lima International Exhibition. Currently, it is an amicable and peaceful park with a museum, massive green areas and an amphitheatre too. The Exhibition Palace has now been converted to Museum of Art of Lima. The palace has its own personality and an air of grandeur about it. Head there to check out the artwork on display—both permanent and temporary. There is a small amount charged as entrance fee to the museum.

This park is an ideal location for a picnic with family or friends. Get along a book to read in the tranquil surroundings—nothing could be better. Kids stay occupied with playing around the fountains or gallivanting in the vast green spaces. Live concerts frequently take place in the amphitheatre and the area is brimming with activity on most days. Travellers, tourists, locals, vendors—all add their bit to the energy of the place. It’s good fun to just sit and watch the people indulging in various activities.
The Park of Exposition is a very popular meeting place both for friends and couples. Food stands are dotted all around the large park. This park is also home to wildlife such as peacocks. You can feed fish food to the large gold fish in the lake. You can also visit the Byzantine Pavilion which is a building structured like a dome and the Moorish Pavilion with its unique winding staircase. So go there when you have enough time on your hands for you can spend the better part of the day at this park.
