Park of the Exhibition

Located in the Callao region of Peru, this public space was established following the removal of the old city walls and later redesigned for the 1872 International Exhibition. It consists of maintained gardens and walking paths, serving as a quiet area for strolling within the urban environment.

Getting There

The park is accessible from the city centre via taxi or public transport. Depending on traffic conditions, the journey typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

Visit Duration

Most visitors spend approximately 1 to 2 hours exploring the gardens and walking the paths.

  • Lima Art Museum: 0.1km
