Happy Birthday to Lima
Today Lima, Perú turns 473, and I thought I’d give a shout out to anyone in Lima today and celebrate for the rest of us with a few pictures of Lima.

This is the Cerro San Cristóbal. Now that’s a lot of houses, almost on top of each other. Photo taken by anaisanais.

And if you haven’t had enough, you can browse Flickr’s Lima, Peru Photo pool, or take a satellite tour below.
Now, can anyone tell me how they sing Happy Birthady or if they have a song they sing at birthday parties in Perú?
These are beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing, and for educating.:)
We sing Happy Birthday in the same tone (music) we just sing it in spanish …. Cumpleanos feliz, te deseamos a ti, cumpleanos felices te deseamos a ti…..
There is other songs that people will sing to honor the City, they are called “vals criollo” or in plural “valses criollos” Thank you for the pictures!
