Lima

For some travellers Lima is only an entry point to the country, but the capital of Peru has a lot to offer if you take the time to uncover its secrets. Founded in 1535, the “City of the Kings” was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1988 by UNESCO and is today one of South America’s most desirable capitals to visit. With its old colonial heart, modern buildings, sophisticated restaurants and vibrant nightlife, Lima is full of contrasts and has something of interest to all visitors.

The city of a thousand facets

Lima deserves more than a stopover before heading to Machu Picchu and will surprise you if you take the time to uncover its secrets.

Regarding the food scene, no visitor should miss Lima’s culinary genius. This city is a real melting pot especially when it comes to its dishes. A perfect combination of their many indigenous influences, with Chinese, Japanese and Spanish all coming together in one plate. Whether you are craving for comfort food or something a little bit more sophisticated, Lima will fulfil all your desires.

Our favourite experiences

Visit Barranco

Probably one of the coolest places in the city, Barranco is known as the bohemian artsy district of Lima. The streets are filled with colourful street arts, tucked-away bars, beautiful galleries and delicious restaurants.
Walk around Plaza de Armas

Also known as Plaza Mayor, this giant square located at the heart of Lima is also its oldest public space. There, you’ll find some of the most important Historical and cultural buildings such as the Cathedral of Lima, the Municipal Palace and the Government Palace.
Paraglide over the coast

If you’re already bored with the usual tourists activities, take off the clif of Miraflores for the best panoramic view of Lima. For an unforgettable experience, make sure you do it at the end of the day to admire the sun set over the city.
Explore the catacombs in San Francisco church

The colonial church built in the Baroque style, is one of the best preserved of the city. But despite its impressive architecture and stunning library, travellers go there to visit the Catacombs. Originally used as the main cemetery, around 75000 bodies were buried there and the remains are arranged in artistic patterns.
Visit Mali Musuem

There’s plenty of great museums in Lima but if we had to chose one, it would be this one. Mali Museum is known for its astonishing collection of Peruvian Art which covers 3000 years of History. Its large selection of pre-Columbian ceramics and textiles, Incan items and colonial era painting will immerse yourself into Peruvian History.
