Two years in Peru : with exploration of its antiquities . ion square yards, or 117 acres.—Mr. Steers calculations.—Adobes building themound.—Cave of hermit who was burned by the Inquisitionin 1673.—Mira Flores.—Chorillos.—The friars leap.—Thehereditary asses.—Central part of Chorillos. About half a mile distant from the Arambolufortress, along one of the roads from Bella Yistato Magdalena village, we find the ruins of whatMr. Campbell agrees with me, in believing to bethe remnants of the old temple, dedicated tothe god Rimac.
