Peruvian Portals

I have a fixation for portals!  There is always a hint of mystique behind each - you never know what you'd find, although most of the time it's quite predictable, especially corporate portals.  I encountered a variety of portals on our Peruvian trip, especially closed ones in Lima because we visited on a long weekend - what luck!  (there's the glass half full for you...)

First day of arrival - portal of a church in San Isidro

Incan portal in Cusco's Koricancha Temple
Portal of the Pre-Colombian Art Museum in Cusco



Portal of the Gran Hotel Bolivar in Lima 

Have to sneak these elevator doors in here even though they are not technically portals


Classy doors in the Casa Belen, home of the Museum of Minerals in Lima
Inside the Convent Church of Santo Domingo

Museum of the Central Reserve Bank (the closed door meant we missed it)



International Bank of Peru

Lima Stock Exchange

Museum of Italian Art (yes, in Lima)

Entrance to Machu Picchu

Here's a different one, off the Jiron de la Union in downtown Lima


Restaurant in Miraflores with interesting door handles


Random door with unique knocker on the streets of El Centro


Another closed bank (it's a long weekend)

Sunat corporate portal


The Cathedral was closed too!

As was the Archdiocese administrative offices!


Inca portal in Ollantaytambo
