Books & Documents
To share our passion for Lima, we contribute some priced possessions from our personal library as downloadable PDFs in this section. A few of the older books or documents are difficult to find and give you a lovely inside about the old Lima or Peru. Sometimes looking back will make the present easier understandable. Especially in Peru, this is something we figured out quickly. Wherever possible newer books will be included (as long the copyrights allow us to do so, or we received permission to republish them on LimaEasy).
