Most people come to Peru to visit Machu Picchu, but don´t hop on the next plane to Cusco just yet. Lima has a lot to offer, and it would be a shame for you to miss out on this vibrant capital city full of life, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Lima can be hectic and chaotic, but it more than makes up for it with its delicious restaurants, its rich history, and the many exciting activities you can do in and around the city.
