Catacombs

Catacombs

Lima, Peru

Under the church of San Francisco are the Catacombs. Approximately 25,000 Limenos were buried under the church prior to the first cemetery in Lima opening in 1808. According to our friend Nicholas, the catacombs are notoriously difficult to explore. When groups of explorers would travel through new passageways describing what they saw, the batteries of their radios and their flashlights would go out and they would get lost in the maze...never to find their way out.
