WHAT'S NEARBY

Estación de Desamparados

  • Address: Jr. Carabaya and Jr. Ancash, Lima

Fodor's Review:

Inaugurated in 1912, Desamparados Station was the centerpiece for the continent's first railway. The building itself, using lots of glass to make use of the natural light, was based on styles popular in Europe. The city often uses the space for temporary art exhibits, giving you a chance to check out the graceful arches inside.
