Peru’s capital Lima is a cosmopolitan city that embraces its colonial heritage, modern dynamism, and privileged location on the Pacific coast. The city is, after all, the only South American capital facing the sea. Limeños are rightly proud of their unrivaled gastronomy and miles of beaches up and down the coast. Lima has become recognized as one of the world’s top gastronomic destinations, as the city’s vibrant and creative coastal fusion cuisine has gained in fame worldwide.
Only a few years ago, Lima was not often viewed as a significant tourist destination on its own, but that image has changed, in no small due to the gastronomic boom that has accompanied solid economic progress and increased safety in the capital. Lima’s magnificent collection of art and archaeology museums, the finest in Peru, as well as the well preserved colonial center and lively contemporary communities like Miraflores, San Isidro and Barranco hugging the coast, make Lima a fascinating place that takes at least two days to discover and appreciate. Casa Andina organizes unique capital excursions that allow visitors to truly experience another side to the Peruvian capital city.
