Morro Solar
A seaside headland in Chorrillos with a Christ of the Pacific statue and an Unknown Soldier memorial at the top, offering views over the entire Bay of Lima.
Morro Solar was the battlefield of the 1881 Battle of Lima during the War of the Pacific. At the summit are the Unknown Soldier memorial, a planetarium and the Christ of the Pacific statue, about 37 meters tall. From the top you can see the full coastline from the Chorrillos fishing port to Miraflores and Barranco. At the foot of the hill, the seafood market at the Chorrillos fishermen's wharf serves fresh ceviche. Taking a taxi up the hill is recommended. Avoid walking on remote mountain roads.
