Lima

A city rich with history and colonial presence, Lima is one of the top places you should visit in Peru. For one, it’s a World Heritage Site, hosting churches, monasteries, and mansions still preserved from its old days. There are many museums with stunning works of art in Lima, and you’ll also have access to archeological sites that surround the city. For outdoors, you can’t go wrong with visiting the beaches based on Lima’s coast. You have El Silencio, Pulpos, Caballeros, Punta Hermosa, Punta Negra, San Bartolo, and Santa Maria—all beaches that can easily be accessed from Lima. As such, you’ll be able to enjoy hearty days under the sun in some of Peru’s prettiest beaches, and vibrant nights in the city of Lima.
