Lima is a city of contrasts: desert and sea, cliffs and beaches, modernity and tradition, affluence and poverty, culture and commerce. Peru’s capital is full of surprises, yet often missed by travelers who decide to skip Lima in favor of Cusco or the Sacred Valley. It would be a mistake to think Lima isn’t worth visiting, however. Lima’s wealth of museums and galleries, historic and modern architecture, and dramatic Pacific Coast beaches make it an intriguing and unmissable city. Lima is also home to extraordinary culinary talent, perhaps rendering it the most important city for food lovers in South America.
