Visit Lima
The rush of a megalopolis, the craziness of an urban center: welcome to Lima! It's hot, a vibrant mix of business posh Miraflores by day and student hip Barranco by night.
In the city and its environs, pre-Columbian ruins testify to Peru's Indian past. Learn about it at the National Museum of Anthropology and Archeology in Lima or at the sites themselves of Machu Picchu and Pisac.
The cathedral dominates the Plaza Mayor. Savor this wonderful mix of Romanesque, baroque and gothic. And discover the other side: an arcaded cloister with beautifully maintained walkways.
Nights are lively in Barranco, with the beat of Peruvian music filling the air, creating a village ambiance in this city of 12 million inhabitants. Great for dancing till the break of dawn!
Had enough of the urban jungle? Then plunge into the lush Amazonian environment. Leave the city streets for paths heading east through fields. Enjoy the richness of the tropical forest - pure, unspoiled nature.
