Lima Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Lima – Welcome to the capital of Peru, where city sights are as diverse as the nation’s landscapes. Follow us through this South American city and take note of the top spots to visit.

#Lima gives access to the mystical city of Machu Picchu in the Andes, Lake Titicaca in the highlands, the lush Amazon jungle and Peru’s coastal desert. But, before you go to see all of this, it’s worth exploring the capital first.

In Lima’s Historic Center is the Plaza de Armas, also known as the Plaza Mayor. #Visit Government Palace which is still the official seat of government today.

Continue your #vacation outside of the city center. The Bajada de los Baños in bohemian Barranco is home to the Bridge of Sighs. In Miraflores is Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Columbian temple of some 1,500 years old. The Museo Larco in Pueblo Libre contains amazing pre-Columbian artifacts.

Don’t miss Lima’s parks. Parque de las Leyendas is a zoo and Parque de Exposición has fountains to play in and an awe-inspiring light show.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Lima, you are so beautiful. I celebrated my 30th bday in 2014 in your beautiful city and it is the best birthday I have ever had. I will never forget you.
You are full of surprises, I knew nothing about Lima when I visited Peru, travellers only talked about Machu Picchu, Quito, the Andes, the Amazon, or Lake Titicaca - but Lima was so underrated. Yet when I finally arrived I immediately fell in love.
I love you Lima, love from Canada

Lima is my city. I live there for more than 18 years. Is a beautiful place. I would recommend everybody to go to Lima.

Most unique climate of any city in the world. A city in a Tropical location (12 degrees S Latitude, similar to Indonesia), at sea level, yet it has a chilly climate similar to San Francisco, the ocean is too cold to swim in, and the sun hardly ever shines. It messes with your head a little bit. Beautiful city with wonderful people.

Beauty of Peru's capital Lima perfectly shown in the Expedia documentary.

This city is architecturally diverse with lots of history embedded in it and has a stunning landscape for a city this size

LIMA, "City of the Kings", ancient, modern, beautiful, cosmopolitan, amazing. Colonial historic center, prehispanic ruins, museums, restaurants, best food of Latin America, night life. The only great capital city of South America with sea view. Simply the best place. I love. ❤️❤️❤️

Greetings for USA. 👋

Lima is spectacular in summer, feel the breeze from the sea while watching one of the most beautiful and dramatic sunset from el malecón.

I always fascinate travelling to Machu Picchu someday but never thought Lima would be such a beautiful place. My thirst to visit Peru is growing bigger now. Love from Sri Lanka.

Hermosa ciudad. Saludos de Brasil a todos. Peace!

Me amore ciudad de Lima.(my Espanola is wrong maybe, because I am not Spanish native)
This city has a lot of good shock, culture, food, atmosphere etc. After visiting Péru, I fall in love this country and Latin America. I cannot describe the feeling in a word. This country has a lot to attract many people and wanna visit again.
