Lima



Downtown Lima is a fascinating mix of Spanish and Quecha styles, while more cool hangouts like Barranco give a nice view of the oceanfront and a good mix of relaxed eating.
In the middle of town is Huaca Pucllana, an Inca adobe and mud pyramid that was built between 200-700 AD as part of the Lima culture..

Peruvian cuisine packs a punch on the world stage. Nat Geo ranks Lima as one of the culinary meccas. Indeed, their food is a bewildering assortment with incredible flavors.
