Lima and Peru

Lima is the capital city of Peru, located on the Pacific Coast in an unusual semi-arid desert. The climate is mild despite its tropical location. The city was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro following the Spanish conquest of the Incas. The history and archaeology of Lima and Peru are fascinating with strong indigenous influences blending with the Spanish traditions and culture.

Today, Lima boasts over 10 million inhabitants and has become a bustling Latin American city complete with all of the opportunities of a modern global center of business and commerce.

The arts scene is alive and thriving, with museums and galleries throughout the city. Peruvian cuisine is among the top in the world and makes for unlimited possibilities for dining and cooking.

Sprinkled throughout the city are ancient ruins from the time of the Incas. Lima is an international city with tourists from around the world who come to visit Peru’s shores, deserts, mountains, and jungles. There is plenty of adventure for hikers, cyclists, runners, surfers and shoppers.
