Starting from the temporary station of the Oroya Railroad at Callao, quite close to the Guadaloupe Hospital, we very soon skirt by the river Rimac, and enter into the valley of that name. Not far from the station is the first chacra (or small farm) passed, ?that f Mirinaves, lately purchased by Mr. Henry Meiggs.
