Walking in Lima
Lima faces the Pacific from high cliffs and is known as one of the world's great food cities. Walks explore the UNESCO-listed historic centre with its balconies and plazas, the seaside parks of Miraflores and the bohemian lanes of Barranco.

Good to know: From about May to October a grey mist called the garúa often covers the city: bring a layer.
