UNPREPARED GUIDE

The Lima Cathedral has a guided tour and is well worth doing. In the Monastery of San Francisco, there is a Guide BUT there are groups of 40 people, disorganized, the Guide did not expect people, only those who were "gruded" in it heard the explanations, very bad, because the place has a lot of history.
