My name is Kris Nijs and I come from Belgium. Two years ago I leaved
Belgium to start a new life in Peru ( south America ). In Peru I
have bought a beautiful house near the beach were I live now
together with my Peruvian wife Rahel Mosquera Olivares.
Our house is in Ancon. Ancon is a picturesque Peruvian fishing
village situated on the shores of the Pacific Ocean were we have
recently opened a pleasant Bed & Breakfast were our guest will feel
them self immediately at home.

ANCON: Ancon is a very quiet fishing village with a very friendly
population. Because of this it is very surprising that you’re here
only one hour away from a world city, Lima. Ancon was the first
seaside resort in Peru, were all middle class from Lima came to
escape the chaos and the stress from the capital city and to spend
there free days and vacation on the beach in Ancon. Foreigner
tourists are very rarely seen here and because of this Ancon has
kept his typical Peruvian identity.
Ancon is famous for it’s many cheap fish restaurants. Two times a
day the fishermen from Ancon bring fresh fish from sea. This fish
gets prepared in this local restaurants or you can buy here for
yourself.
Also you can find in Ancon a daily small market were you can buy all
kinds of vegetables or fruits.

THE CLIMATE: The mild ocean climate makes that Ancon has a very
pleasant climate the whole year around.
The winter: From may until October. But with minimum temperatures
from 17 degrees you cannot really speak from winter of course.
The summer: From November until April. The temperatures during the
summer months are everyday around 32 degrees and this feels nice.
During the summer months you really can enjoy from everyday sunshine
without one day with bad weather. We never get rain in Ancon, not
during the winter or not during the summer months.

DAYTRIPS from ANCON:
- A visit to the Castle of Chancay. This castle is build on a
rock cliff over hanging the pacific ocean. It was built during the
colonial period by the Spanish ( 30 minutes drive from Ancon ).
- A visit to the beautiful colonial capital city from Peru,
Lima. Rahel and I know Lima very well and could, if you would like,
guide you around in this bustling world city with it 11,000 million
habitants (1 hour drive from Ancon).

Andes mountain range, during this trip you can enjoy the beautiful
mountain landscapes that we will pass (whole day).
- A visit to the daily market from Puente Piedra.This open air
market is one of the biggest markets in and around Lima. It this
very pleasant walking true this labyrinth of small alleys. Different
population groups from all over Peru come to this market to sell
their products (fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, meat, fish, chicken,
clothes, shoes…etc). This market is a pleasure for the eyes ( 15
minutes drive from Ancon ).

very big contrast with the just describe open air market from Puente
Piedra and is situated just outside Lima (45 minutes drive from
Ancon).
