The Place
Lima, Peru
City introduction
The gastronomic capital of the Americas — ceviche, cliffs and Catacombs. Lima is South America's food capital: Central and Maido's world-top-ten tables, ceviche at its birthplace, the cliff-top Miraflores malecón over the Pacific, the colonial center's catacombs, and paragliders drifting off the Costa Verde. Every Cusco trip should land here first.
