Lima

Many visitors are quick to pass through Lima on a holiday to Peru, however there are plenty of interesting places that make an overnight stay in the capital worthwhile. The Larco Museum, the Gold Museum and MALI – Museo de Art de Lima, showcase the rich history of Peru through various exhibits on pottery, textiles and religious artefacts. In Lima’s colonial district you’ll find churches and historic mansions with ornate wooden balconies, alongside the Presidential Palace. Miraflores is a modern district where many of the hotels are located and, on the seafront, is Love Park, where locals come to watch the sunset over the Pacific.

Lima is also home to some superb restaurants. Peruvian cuisine is becoming more popular every year; visit one of these upmarket eateries and you’ll soon see why! Cerviche, lomo saltado, quinoa, 300 types of potato – there are so many fresh and wonderful flavours to try. And why not wash it down with a Pisco sour.
