Peru's Capital


The modern capital city of Peru was established by Francisco Pizarro immediately after conquering the Incas in Cuzco in 1528. Lima boasts the longest history of European settlement on the continent and its many churches, catacombs, and plazas pay tribute to this long colonial history.

Lima’s gastronomic revolution of the past decade have highlighted Peru among the great cuisines of the world. This revolution happened in the local markets with a new breed of travelled Peruvian chefs that presented the traditional cuisine with a nouveau flare. Exploration of the markets and the best restaurants of the city will satisfy even the most critical of foodies.
