What to do in Lima

Peru's capital city is perched along the cliffs of the Pacific coast and offers a mix of beachside activities, boho neighbourhoods to peruse, and its fair share of remarkable architecture. Visit the fascinating pyramid at Huaca Pucllana, Museo Larco, which houses Peru's most important collection of Pre-Columbian artefacts, and peruse the Mercado Indio. For the ultimate view of Lima, paraglide off the nearby cliffs, or learn to surf in the bay below. When it comes to nightfall, you'll be spoilt for choice. This is the city with a National Pisco Sour Day after all...
