In the city of Lima, the capital of Peru, the present is blended with history and tradition to show us its many attractions and cultural heritage. Founded in 1535 by the Spanish conquistadors as the City of Kings, it became the most important city in South America during the colonial era. The capital of Peru today houses a plethora of both architectural and archaeological monuments, which for their beauty and preservation have won the title of Cultural Heritage of Humanity from UNESCO. Whether by day or night, it is worth the trouble to see it all for the contrast of its landscapes and its various attractions.
Located on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, between the Rímac and Lurín river valleys, with a population of approximately 9 million people, Lima displays pre-Inca, Inca, colonial and republican architecture, each existing in complete harmony in a city that continues to grow at the pace of modernity.
The capital is a dynamic city where pre-Columbian colonial and modern Lima blend, offering a variety of accommodations, restaurants, entertainment, shopping, sports, tours as well as cultural and ecological attractions.
