Lima is Peru’s cultural melting pot, a city of 9 million people representing the full diversity of this colorful and lively nation. Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizzaro thought it the ideal spot for his headquarters, and moved the capital here from Cusco in 1535. Now the city is home to 1/3 of the Peruvian population and is always bursting with activity.
From history to modernity, Lima has a lot to offer. The centuries-old ruins of Huaca Pullcana, the colonial Plaza de Armas, and other historical sites display Lima´s vibrant pre- and post-colonial history. And any visit to Lima is incomplete without a stroll along the coastal city’s seaside cliffs to watch the paragliders float above the water, shop in one of the city’s upscale shopping malls, and taste the famous Peruvian cuisine, from fresh ceviche to the Pisco sours, Peru’s national drink. Prepare to be spoiled by choices.
