Yes, your tourist guide has shown you the usual Lima attractions and can suggest other more suitable to your personal preferences. But if you need something really different, listen to the locals.
Limenians are very proud of their city and will suggest you places to eat, things to see, experiences to take. So, be open minded and wait for the unexpected; you will make unforgettable memories of Lima.
You need to see nature. Lomas de Lachay will provide you a view of a blooming desert, while the Bosques de Zarate and Canta are beautiful places on the route to Los Andes mountains; a completely different landscape. In addition, Cerro Azul is a beach South Lima, with plenty of sea life and an amazing, imposing desertic landscape.
If you have some more time, Chaclacayo and Chosica are the perfect place to run away from Lima's gloomy, gray sky in winter and emjoy a picnic by the river, under a blue sky.
And for something really original, ask for a night visit to the old cemetery Presbitero Maestro, full of art and history.
