Top 10 Things to Do in Lima
Lima is South America's most underrated culinary capital, a Pacific coast city where ancient pre-Columbian ruins rise among modern glass towers and world-renowned restaurants reinvent Peruvian cuisine daily. From the colonial grandeur of the historic center to the cliffside parks of Miraflores and the bohemian galleries of Barranco, Lima rewards those who look beyond the gray Pacific mist. It's a city of layers, both geological and gastronomic.
