Welcome to
Lima
Peru
Lima has emerged as the gastronomic capital of South America — a Pacific coast city whose extraordinary biodiversity of ingredients, from Amazonian fruits to Andean grains to fresh Pacific ceviche, has given rise to one of the world's most exciting food cultures. Central, Maido, and Astrid y Gastón have all been ranked among the world's best restaurants, and the neighbourhood of Miraflores overhangs the Pacific on dramatic cliffs above the Miraflores paragliders and surfers below. Lima's pre-Columbian ruins — including the Huaca Pucllana pyramid built in the 5th century, surrounded by a modern residential neighbourhood — are a striking reminder of the 3,000-year history beneath the city.
