Oh Lima how I miss you! Of the places that I have seen and been Lima is nost deffinately the heart and soul of my travels. Its a beautiful city with so much to offer. If you are travelling as a tourist, back pack and sandles in tow be sure to stay in the western side of the city around Miraflores.

Review of Lima

Another underrated city: Lima!

Advantages: weather, people, cheap (once you're there)
Disadvantages: usual of any big city

...they visit Peru just use Lima as a pass through point in their hurry to reach other destinations such as the old Inca towns of Cusco and Macha Pichu. I, however, spent the vast amount of my holiday in Lima itself. This is because I visited the country with my Peruvian boyfriend and stayed with his family in there. Lima is a costal city on the west of South America and it is the capital of Peru. I arrived in Lima after a 14-hour flight, I flew with ...

These markets tend to sell touristy items such as ponchos, panpipes etc. If you go to a more local market then you can also pick up cheap (fake) dvds and cds. I think the best thing to do when going to Lima is to contact the tourist information and find out what events are happening while you are there. During my visit I saw a horse show that was ...
