Lima is one of the most dynamic cities in South America and we're thrilled to showcase some of the top attractions and things to do in the city in this video guide. Our 30 things to do Lima, Peru travel guide highlights some of the top foods to eat in Lima (including Peruvian street food), museums worth checking out and must see attractions along with off-the-beaten track suggestions. We delve deep into neighborhoods such as Miraflores and Larcomar and offer up suggestions for travel adventure junkies such a paragliding, surfing and biking. To satisfy our taste buds we sample Peruvian cuisine including ceviche, anticuchos, salchipapas, lomo saltado, chifa, nikkei and whole lot more as part of our Lima food guide. Unfortunately, a lot of tourists skip Lima and head straight for Machu Picchu or the Amazon; however, for those who linger in Lima the reward is hanging out in the foodie capital of Latin America. Join us to find out why!
