In the end we went up to the tower. We have never climbed so steep stairs ever before and once up we were really afraid to go down. There were no safety installation at this tower.
The architecture is much more interesting and beautiful than its sister in the South. The architecture was influenced by the French but also by the Chinese. The buildings are thin and tall.
A band was playing Peruvian music while we were waiting for our luggage. The altitude is immediately felt: Dark blue skies and thin air, which won't let you climb stairs without having to take a few breaks. |
