Although it is a place where rest which became best can be seen in this beautiful place the artistic work of many sculptors, who have carved the stone, marble and other materials with which have given way to sentiment that projected each of the people who I wish to pay tribute to their loved ones.

Pasamos por la sección donde están los niños, fue una escena conmovedora, ver esa zona colorida y con pequeños juguetes parecía adornado para una fiesta No imagino el dolor de un padre al perder a un ser amado pero les dejo unas fotos para que vean lo colorido que se vio luego de las fiestas

Si de algo se puede quejar los usuarios es de la limpieza del lugar. Hay sectores que están bastante descuidados. por lo demás es un museo cementerio muy interesante y hermoso, sus esculturas y mausoleos de mármol lo hacen distinto a todos los que hay en Lima, el Panteón de los Héroes merece mención aparte por estar ahí enterrados los restos de Bolognesi, Grau y muchos otros, por todo el cementerio están enterrados personajes de la historia del Perú de los cuales solo hemos conocido por libros. En la sección de niños se puede encontrar la tumba del Niño Ricardito de quien se dice es muy milagroso, tanto así que tiene su propia confraternidad que le pone ofrendas y hasta le celebra su cumpleaños con show infantil y fiesta. También es muy interesante para los amantes de las actividades paranormales porque se dice que hay bastante de eso ahí, especialmente en el Panteón de los Suicidas. Hay tours nocturnos organizados por la beneficencia de Lima para tener una experiencia diferente en el cementerio, ésta actividad se realiza uno o dos veces al mes si no me equivoco, para ver las fechas se ingresa a la web de la beneficencia de Lima o se busca en google información acerca del evento.

If users can't complain something is cleaning the place. There are sectors that are rather neglected. otherwise a Museum is very interesting and beautiful cemetery, his sculptures and mausolea of marble make it different from all that there is in Lima, the Pantheon of Heroes deserves a separate mention for being there buried the remains of Bolognesi, Grau and many others characters in the history of the Peru of which we have only known for books are buried all over the cemetery. In the children's section you can find the tomb of the boy Ricky who is said it is very miraculous, so much so it has its own Fellowship which puts offerings and even celebrates you his birthday with children's show and party. It is also very interesting for the lovers of the paranormal activities because it is said that you there enough of that, especially in the Pantheon of the suicide. There are night tours organized by the beneficence of Lima to have a different experience in the cemetery, this activity takes place one or two times a month if I am not mistaken, for dates you enter to the website of the beneficence of Lima or search in google information on about the event.
