San Paulo- Cali - Lima

About the destination: Lima is the capital of Peru and its largest city. Most people simply use Lima as a gateway to Cuzco, Arequipa or Amazonas, but Lima, known as the City of the Kings, has a lot to offer visitors. It's a city with many interesting historical sites, monumental colonial architecture and old world charm. Plaza Mayor or Plaza de Armas is at the heart of the Historic Centre of Lima. It's surrounded by some of the main tourist attractions in Lima, the Cathedral, the Archbishop Palace and the Government Palace. In the centre of the square there's a fountain with a bronze statue. Jirón de la Unión is the pedestrian street that links the Plaza de Armas and the Plaza San Martín. It used to be a very important street where Aristocrats lived, these days it's primarily a shopping street, but you can find many beautiful colonial buildings with wooden balconies and ornate grilled windows as you stroll along. Lima is a city connected to the ocean. The Costera promenade runs along its coast and is home to numerous restaurants and cafes. Lima is also the best place to sample the wonderful Peruvian cuisine, which has a huge variety of ingredients from the coast, mountain and Amazon regions. Lima is big and chaotic, but with its beautiful sights, great food and friendly people it's well worth a visit.
