Visiting Lima
Once upon a time, Lima was a simple Inca city with pyramids and farms spread across the horizon. After being conquered by the Spanish in the 1530s, however, it became one of the biggest and most beautiful cities of Colonial Spain. And today? Today, Lima is a vast, chaotic, and enigmatic modern city laced with a colourful history and culture. While the centre is still defined by its magnificent Spanish colonial palaces, cathedrals, and convents, the Barranco district juxtaposes it with an exciting bohemian art scene. Meanwhile, Miraflores beautifully blends the city’s colonial side with the luxuries of modern life from shopping to dining. In fact, Miraflores has become internationally renowned as the leading destination for Peruvian cuisine thanks to its growing number of world-ranking restaurants.
