Lima is the capital of the country and the gateway to the rest of Peru. It is a modern metropolis with a population of over 8 million, which offers its visitors museums, dozens of art galleries, theater productions and every kind of top-notch cultural exhibition, along with the most sophisticated gourmet restaurants and their exquisite innovative cuisine. With several restaurants in Lima featuring in the World’s Best 50 Restaurants, there’s no better place on the continent for gourmands to explore. During summer months (January to March) you can walk along the promenade or sail in Lima’s bay to the backdrop of picture-perfect sunsets.
Lima is a place of converging trends, created by its people and their living culture, where you will find every corner of Peru represented. One visit to Lima can never be enough. Lima, filled with colonial-era riches, is the only capital in South America that faces the sea.
