The City of Lima:
Lima, originally christened as “The City of Kings,” is the capital of Peru. Untouched by modernization, this is the place to go to be one with nature. The atmosphere in Lima is very dream-like due to the mist that settles over the city. Historical sites such as the main square, cathedral, government palace, and train station speaks volumes about Lima's past. Lima is also a great place to sample Peruvian cuisine, making it a great travel choice for food lovers. The city has something to offer for everyone.
