Lima: The Colonial Capital
Once considered to among the most beautiful cities in Latin America, Lima has been transformed over recent years to recapture it’s colonial history and charm. The three main areas of interest in Lima are Lima Centro, Miraflores and Barranco. Lima Centro is where one finds the Plaza Major, that is often called the Plaza de Armas. This is the historical cornerstone of Lima’s foundation, from here avenues fanned out as the city grew. The Plaza Major is where one finds the historical Palacio de Gobierno or Presidential Palace, the monastery Santo Domingo and the Cathedral, that dates back to the 16th century.

The suburbs of Miraflores and Barranco are the focus of city’s action, night life and fine shopping. Lima is also known for exceptional restaurants and museums, and given the city is an international gateway for most travelers, it’s well worth taking a little time in this capital city, to learn more about Perú as a nation.
