Lima
King´s City
Lima, Capital of Peru, spreads from the cliffs of the
Pacific Ocean (center of Peru) with his miscellany of
colonial and modern styles. The city of Lima, founded by
Francisco Pizarro on January 18, 1535, was considered to
be for almost three centuries the capital virreinal of
South America. The so-called City of the Kings was
during the Virreinato the scepter and pride of Spain in
America, it is for it that they took charge of his
beautification, with big casonas, cathedrals and squares.
His historical center preserves even balconies and
virreinal constructions of the first years of the
Republic. In Lima we can find all kinds of tourist
attractions and for all the pleasures and where the
principal museums of Peru are. Inside the city also we
can find numerous ruins of civilizations previous to the
Spanish and to the Incas inclusive; emphasizing those of
the citadel of Pachacamac and the ceremonial centers of
Pucllana, Huallamarca and Puruchuco.
Being a modern city, Lima has a very varied night and happy life, where the traditional thing and the modern thing are combined to the moment of the diversion: it is possible to find from " Peņas " (night places where Creole typical music of Peru is listened and danced) up to discotheques where it is danced to early morning with the musical topics of the moment. In addition to walking and enjoying the different places that Lima offers you also there invites you to try one of the best and most varied gastronomy in the world, the gastronomic capital of Peru. Lima emphasizes, for his famous and excellent flavor, the "Cebiche", traditional Peruvian food with fish or seafood and as accompanist a typical " Pisco Sour ", that for his level of liquor and flavor it turns out to be delightfully irresistible. For all this we invite you to know our city and discover and enjoy all his delight.
