What can I do in Lima Peru for a day?
I'll be in Peru working at an orphanage in Huancayo for a month. But I'll be stuck in Lima for a whole day, what is a "Can't Miss" attraction that I should go see while I'm there? I'll be arriving at the airport in the morning, then getting on a buss to Huancayo in the evening. Don't wanna be bored all day. :)
Go downtown to the Main square (known locally as "Plaza Mayor" or "Plaza de Armas"). Try to get there before midday so you can see the changing of the guards. Then check out the cathedral, the Church of San Francisco and the Osambela house. A visit to Santo Domingo church (just past the main postal building to the left of the government palace) were the body of Saint Rosa rests could be interesting.
Head back to Larco Mar in Miraflores and have lunch there (best view is at the "Mangos" cafe were the buffet is not bad. If you have time, try to get to Pachacamac in the outskirts of Lima to the south. It is a pre-Inca temple which was very important, even during Inca times.
That should take care of all the time you have in Lima.

At Lima go to the museum of Larco Herrera to see original and nice precolumbian ceramics from Nazca to Incas, and take advantage after to visit the archeologycal museum.
At Cusco visit the main cathedral, the temple of celestial astros (qorikancha), the temple of lightning, visit the artist neighbor of San Blas and see traditional markets and archeologycal sites at the sacred valley with the secret site of Machupicchu. When it comes to sites SAMJ is able to make the right tour for you at http://www.southamericamyjourney.com

Miraflores is a great place to go for a day. There's an Inca Market there that sells a bunch of cheap inca stuff to tourists, if that's the kind of thing you're looking for. There's also a lot of old buildings there and it's really pretty there compared to the rest of Lima.
