Lima Travel Guide

Lima is the capital of Peru, and is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. I am from Lima and have lived in Lima my whole life, and I’ll be happy to share with you the best of my city in this Lima travel guide.

Lima used to be a city where most travelers would only stop during a layover before continuing their trip to Machu Picchu.

But in recent years tourism in Lima has thrived, mainly due to its gastronomy (with some of the world’s best restaurants) and its rich culture.

There are lots of things to do in Lima, from visiting the historic center to exploring the artsy neighborhood of Barranco and the Miraflores boardwalk. And beyond just staying in the city, there are some great day trips from Lima to experience nature.
