On the edge of the Pacific, the stars of the Southern Hemisphere watch over Lima, the City of Kings. Gift a star map capturing the firmament above the cliffs of Miraflores — a present as fascinating as this metropolis where ancient Peru meets gastronomic modernity.
Famous Landmarks
Plaza Mayor
-12.0464°N, 77.0428°W
Lima's Plaza Mayor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been the historic heart of Peru's capital since its founding in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro. Surrounded by the Government Palace, Lima Cathedral, and City Hall, this majestic square retains a 17th-century bronze fountain and bears witness to four centuries of viceregal history.
Miraflores
-12.0464°N, 77.0428°W
Miraflores is Lima's most cosmopolitan district, perched on spectacular cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The Malecón, a 10-kilometre clifftop promenade, offers panoramic ocean views and houses the famous Parque del Amor with its monumental sculpture 'El Beso'. The district is also Lima's gastronomic heart — the culinary capital of Latin America.
Huaca Pucllana
-12.0464°N, 77.0428°W
Huaca Pucllana is a 25-metre adobe pyramid built by the Lima civilisation between the 4th and 7th centuries, in the very heart of modern Miraflores. This spectacular archaeological site, illuminated at night, offers the striking contrast of a pre-Columbian pyramid surrounded by contemporary skyscrapers — a testament to 1,500 years of continuous occupation of this land.
Why gift a star map of Lima?
Gifting a star map of Lima means capturing the southern stars above a city where pre-Columbian civilisations meet the continent's finest gastronomy. Whether for a kiss at the Parque del Amor facing the Pacific or a dinner beneath the stars near Huaca Pucllana, this map immortalises a precious moment under the Southern Hemisphere sky. A gift as rich and surprising as the City of Kings.
The sky of Lima
Sitting at 12° south latitude, Lima offers a privileged southern sky where the Southern Cross shines year-round above the Pacific. Although the garúa, the characteristic coastal mist, often veils the sky from May to November, the southern summer months (December to April) bring spectacular clear nights. The proximity to the equator allows observation of constellations from both hemispheres — a rare privilege for a capital city.
