About Lima
Over its long history Lima has been home of important pre-Columbian civilizations including the Chimú and Inca, Vice-royal Capital, and now the modern capital of Peru that we know today. Along the streets of Lima you´ll see stately colonial mansions alongside modern skyscrapers, fusion restaurants attesting to past immigration waves, and pre-Inca pyramids demonstrating the area´s prior life. The Lima city offers travelers a wealth of possibilities: Tour the underground crypts of San Francisco Monastery or gawk at the Gold Museum´s showy artifacts and the Larco Museum´s famous and extensive erotic pottery gallery (See also Tour museums Lima). Lose yourself in the city´s dramatic history among the historical monuments of the Plaza Mayor where you can pay your respects to the Peruvian Saints buried at Santo Domingo or visit Government Palace where the Independence of Peru was declared. Along the oceanside cliff you can watch the surfers and sunbathers on the beach below or take a leap of faith and circle over the Pacific as a tandem hang-glider. Complete your day by sampling the popular cuisine of Lima.

Lima Cuisine
As the gastronomic capital of South America, Lima´s cuisine combines pre-Columbian and colonial cooking traditions with Asian and African influences to create fresh flavorful dishes such as the banner dish, ceviche, raw fish marinated in lime juice, chilis, and onion. Its stylish younger brother tiradito incorporates sashimi techniques and is served with a yellow aji cream. Other options are rice with shellfish, aji de gallina, chicken in a spicy cheese sauce, lomo saltado, a stirfried beef dish, and causa, a layered potato dish. Sidewalk vendors serve quick bites such as tamales, anticuchos (beef heart brochette shish kabobs), and stuffed potatoes. For desert, try suspiros, meringues atop a sweet milk custard, mazamorra morada, purple corn custard, or picarones, yam or pumpkin fritters.
