Lima, capital do Peru sobre falésias do Pacífico, é uma cidade de praças coloniais, ruínas pré-incaicas e uma celebrada e vibrante cena gastronómica.

O centro histórico, Património Mundial da UNESCO, gira em torno da Plaza Mayor, com a catedral, o Palácio do Governo e o Palácio Arquiepiscopal com as suas varandas de madeira esculpida. O Convento de São Francisco esconde catacumbas sob a sua igreja amarela, e as casas coloniais em redor recordam as riquezas do vice-reinado.
