Lima is the capital city of Peru, where the largest international airport is also located. So, visitors who fly internationally to the country will most likely land in Lima. With most travelers set their eyes to visit Machu Picchu, visitors often overlook Lima, other than a place to transit in and out of Peru. While it is true that Lima is a big metropolitan city and doesn’t make a great impression at first. However, take advantage of your time to explore some incredible places while you are there.

There are many things to do around the city, such as exploring Lima’s historical center, wandering through the coastline of Miraflores & Barranco, and visiting Huaca Pucllana – an ancient pre-Inca relic from the 4th-century. You could also take day trips to Paracas, Nazca Lines, the oasis of Huacachina, Pachacamac, Lumos de Lucomo, and the mystical stone forest Marcahuasi. Oh, don’t forget to sample Peruvian cuisines in Lima.. which is known as a gastronomy center of South America.
