About Lima

Lima, capitale du Pérou perchée sur des falaises au-dessus du Pacifique, mêle places coloniales, ruines préincaïques et scène gastronomique célèbre.

Le centre historique, inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, s'organise autour de la Plaza Mayor, avec la cathédrale, le palais du Gouvernement et le palais de l'Archevêque et ses balcons de bois sculptés. Le monastère de San Francisco cache des catacombes sous son église jaune, et les demeures coloniales qui l'entourent rappellent les richesses de la vice-royauté.

Top-ranked sights in Lima: Miraflores, Lima Plaza Mayor, Church and Convent of Saint Francis (Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco).
