Peru’s capital Lima is a cosmopolitan city that embraces its colonial heritage, modern dynamism, and privileged location on the Pacific coast. It is, after all, the only South American capital facing the sea. Limeños are rightly proud of their unrivaled gastronomy and miles of beaches up and down the coast. From the well preserved colonial center to the lively contemporary communities like Miraflores, San Isidro and Barranco hugging the coast, Lima is a fascinating place that takes a few days to discover and appreciate. Casa Andina organizes unique capital excursions that allow visitors to truly experience another side to the Peruvian capital city.
