Day 1
Lima - The CityPeru's capital encompasses thousands of years of history. Founded in 1535 by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro, the "City of Kings" as itis known, was once the political, administrative, and religious heart of South America, although its origins date far further back than thecolonial presence in the country, evidenced by the large number of archaeological sites in the area. Today, Lima is a sprawling metropolis witha hectic l i festyle that keeps a good balance when it comes to embracing the new without letting go of the old. There are plenty of reasons foryou to make Lima your next destination, even if i t's just a quick stop on your way to Machu Picchu.
Lima - Do & SeeKick off your visit to Lima with a walk around the colorful and bustl ing city center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to many historicalbuildings and churches. Delve into the country's rich past in one of the many museums around. Once you’ve soaked up the local history,explore the city's districts: Miraflores on the beachfront is the trendy one, while Barranco is more artsy and bohemian. Day trips to ancient sitesin the surroundings are always fun too.

Lima - DiningStretching from the Andean Mountains to the Amazonian jungle and to the fresh waters of the Pacific, the Peruvian cuisine is a true reflectionof the country's incredible biodiversity. Lima, as the center of it all, presents you with a top-notch gastronomic experience. Known as the“Gastronomy Capital of Latin America," this city is a genuine culinary hot spot. From tiny holes-in-the-wall to three restaurants on the l ist of theworld's best, food here is a serious matter. At the forefront is the good old ceviche, the country's national dish. Also worth trying is the lomosaltado (stir fried beef), anticuchos de corazón (skewers of gri l led heart) and the ají de gall ina (spicy chicken stew), this apart from the popularfusion cuisines Nikkei and Chifa.
