Lima is one of the world’s most alluring destinations for culinary experiences. From traditional “picanterías” and street stalls, where you can eat as locals have done for generations, to world-renowned gourmet restaurants, Lima is a total foodie’s delight. Check out the locals’ favourite stalls at the overwhelming fresh food markets, where you can sample exotic fruits from all over the country, and as fishing is one of the main industries in this coastal city, don’t miss out on the world’s best ceviche!
Lima also oozes art in all its forms. It has state-of-the-art museums such as the Larco Herrera, which houses phenomenal ceramics from ancient Peruvian civilisations, the Amano, home to some of the world’s most extraordinary textile pieces, the MALI (the Lima Art Museum) and the Museum of Contemporary Art, to name just a few. And beyond the museum walls, art is alive and flourishing in bohemian neighborhoods like Barranco, packed with hidden artist workshops, cutting-edge fashion designer exhibitions, charming and quirky art galleries and concept stores, and Callao, with its avant-garde and transgressive personality and community renaissance through art. There is no shortage of artistic tradition and inspiration in this dynamic city.
Organic, sustainable, conservation, wellness, yoga, mindfulness and flowing with life inspire new lifestyle initiatives led by different generations, coming together to do good in a holistic way: a new consciousness is present in Peru, and Lima is at the center of this movement.
The city and its surroundings are also home to religious expressions of different kinds, from the ancient oracle of Pachacamac to colonial churches with different architectural styles, diverse festivities and celebrations and synagogues, and Peru has a significant Jewish community.
