As this is technically the first post from my South American adventure, I wanted to include a map of our plans in Peru. This is a 7 day itinerary including some time to acclimatise to the altitude of Cusco and the surroundings.
If like me, one of the only reasons why Lima is included in your Peru itinerary is because it’s your point of entry in the country (i.e. direct flight from UK!) then think again! Apart from giving you a bit of a rest from the long – haul trip, it is a destination which really needs to be explored and delved into further and after all it is the foodie capital of Peru and one of South America’s foodie hubs! This apart, the city has a lot to offer culturally.
We had just over 24 hours in the city and tried to pack in as much as we could. Read on to see how we maximised our time in Peru’s cultural and foodie city, Lima.
Make sure you start the day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel. We stayed at The Belmond Miraflores Park Hotel and breakfast was served many floors up with a perfect view of the Pacific Ocean and the Malaçon.
