| Lima Travel: Lima is the capital and largest city
in Peru, as well as the capital of Lima Province. It is the
cultural, industrial, financial, and transport hub of the country.
The city is located in an area encompassing the valleys of the
Chillón, Rímac and Lurín rivers. It lies on a desertic coast
adjacent to the bay in the Pacific Ocean where its port was built
and named Callao.
Lima is also the best place to try the wonderful Peruvian cuisine,
which has a huge variety of ingredients from coast, mountain and
Amazon regions. The cold sea current in front of Peru's large coast
makes the sea very rich in fish and seafood, which have a great
taste due to the special plankton they eat. Fish and seafood
restaurants are therefore the best, and not expensive.
Lima has also a great subtropical climate, it is never too warm or
too cold. People in Lima do not know what a raincoat or umbrella is,
since rains are rare. In fact, Lima is built upon a valley
surrounded by an extremely arid desert. |
