Walk across the Plazoleta de Las Nazarenas and enter the Pre-Columbian Art Museum, housed in a colonial conqueror's mansion on the site of an Incan ceremonial courtyard. Inside you can browse archaeological artefacts of Peru's ancient cultures, including the brilliant Inca and Chimu civilizations. Afterwards, waltz next door into the Fallen Angel, an avant-garde cocktail lounge.
