peru lima

 A vibrant metropolis with a unique blend of modern commerce, ethnic diversity and traditional Amerindian influence, Lima is one of South America's largest, busiest and most captivating cities.

With a population of around 8 million, Lima is a melting pot of cultures, having benefited from a huge immigrant influx in the early 20th Century. This has resulted in an incredibly diverse population and makes it a uniquely interesting city to visit. Learn about its pre-Columbian history in one of the world-famous archaeological museums featuring ceramics, weapons and Inca gold or take a stroll around the smart, suburban areas of Miraflores or San Isidro. You may even like to sit down to the Peruvian take on Chinese food in Lima's ‘Calle Capon' - the city's Chinatown.

With striking architecture and a completely unique atmosphere, each street and district offers a different experience in this incredibly diverse city. Well worth a visit for a real flavour of Latin American life.
