O
Rýchle fakty: Ústredná fontána obsahuje bronzovú sochu morskej panny, ktorú miestni prezývajú "La Sirena", pridanú počas renovácie v 60. rokoch. Mohutné fikusy tienia námestie, ich obrovské korene vytvárajú prirodzené lavičky, kde predavači každé popoludnie predávajú choclo con queso (kukuricu so syrom).
Zaujímavosti: Na rozdiel od väčšiny hlavných námestí v Peru nemá toto námestie na svojom obvode katedrálu ani koloniálny kostol, čo mu dodáva nezvyčajne otvorený a vzdušný pocit. Po zotmení sa fontána rozžiari meniacimi sa farbami, zatiaľ čo miestne rodiny sa každý piatok večer stretávajú na bezplatných hodinách tanca marinera a huayno.
Insiderské tipy
- The cafeteria-style restaurant on the northwest corner, Cafetin Plaza, serves the best 6-sol almuerzo (set lunch) in town, including soup, main course, and a drink.
- The bench with the best shade sits under the giant rubber tree on the south side, near the shoe-shine stands.
- If you visit on a Sunday morning, you'll catch an informal artisan market with handwoven textiles and ceramic Nazca replicas set up along the east edge.
- Don't bother with the small tourist train ride that circles the square, it's overpriced at 10 soles for a 5-minute loop.
