Lima

Lima

Founded in 1532 by Spanish conquistadors as the seat of the new colonial government, Lima earned the nickname “The City of Viceroys”. As the political, financial, cultural, and commercial center of Peru since its earliest days, Lima overflows with history and culture. Visiting the Old Town, you can travel back in time and see some of the oldest neighborhoods in the Americas, full of colonial architecture. However, what we like most about Lima today is its convergence position for all Peruvian gastronomy: All the flavors are HERE.

Lima’s cuisine combines the millenary prehispanic inheritance and the external influences, such as the Spanish and Chinese, and gives us delicious “criollo” dishes such as Ceviche, Causa, Lomo Saltado and Picarones.
