One day in the port of Callao

[Pedro Vargas]

Callao is the port of Lima, is the more important from Peru. There are museums, a colonial fortress called 'Real Felipe', islands with a lot of seawolfs, and many other things. These photos are from a beautiful day with my students.

Great! Thank you for sharing. I used to go to Lima quite often but only the airport...never anything this beautiful.

Thanks, Pedro. When the opportunity came to visit Peru back in the 1970s, Macchu Pichu was at the top of my list, and I visited many interesting places in Lima and Cuzco, too. But your pictures show that Peru has many additional interesting things to see. Furthermore, you show how virtually any of us can share views near our homes with other members of our world-wide modeling community.

This looks like a wonderful place to visit. Beautiful scenery, blue ocean, boats, historic fortress, and penguins!

Miles: i understand that are the same... Fam. Otariidae (wikipedia says) about the fort, is a interesting idea, i will tell to our friend JM Rodriguez a papermodeler from Peru that is an expert. I will post more photos about Callao¡¡
