Lima Attractions

 
For many travellers, their first glimpse of Peru is the sprawling metropolis of Lima. It is usually a stark contrast to the images presented in travel magazines, of Andean villagers wearing bright colors, farmers herding sheep and llamas, and mountain peaks surrounding green valleys. Lima is a bustling city on the dry coastal plain, where the dominant colors in the landscape are brown and gray, and locals dress the same as those in cities across North America or Europe.

Despite this image, Lima has it's own attraction, and those willing to take the time to explore will find it is a vibrant city with much to offer.
