Things to Do in Lima

A visit to Lima wouldn't be complete without exploring the Plaza de Armas (Plaza Mayor), the historic heart of the city. This square is surrounded by significant landmarks such as the 17th-century Cathedral, the Government Palace, and the Archbishop's Palace. The centrepiece of the plaza is a stunning bronze fountain dating back to 1650. At noon, visitors can witness the changing of the guards at the Presidential Palace. Nearby, the historic Gran Hotel Bolivar has hosted numerous celebrities, including Ernest Hemingway and Mick Jagger.

The Larco Museum is another must-see, offering a deep dive into Peru's pre-Columbian history with over 45,000 artefacts. Housed in an 18th-century mansion built over a 7th-century pyramid, the museum features ceramics, textiles, and gold. The Erotic Gallery, showcasing pieces related to sexuality and fertility, is particularly unique. Don't miss the museum's beautiful garden and the restaurant with views of the pyramid.

For thrill-seekers, paragliding offers a breathtaking aerial view of Lima. Aeroxtreme, a pioneer in the field, ensures a safe and exhilarating experience with professional equipment and optimal weather conditions.

In Miraflores, the ancient Huaca Pucllana pyramid offers a glimpse into pre-Inca civilisation. The site is even more captivating at night, and the adjacent Huaca Pucllana Restaurant provides a unique dining experience with views of the ruins.

For a romantic sunset, head to Parque del Amor (Park of Love). This charming park features colourful benches, beautiful flowers, and a large sculpture of a kissing couple, all overlooking the coast.
