Did you know? Lima

Lima is home to more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than any other South American city, earning it the nickname 'Gastronomic Capital of South America.'

The Historic Centre of Lima was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 and contains over 500 colonial palaces and churches built between the 16th and 18th centuries.

Lima sits on the Pacific coast in a desert region that receives almost no rainfall, yet it feeds over 10 million people through sophisticated water management from the Andes.

The city was founded by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as Ciudad de los Reyes (City of Kings) and served as the capital of Spain's vast South American colonial empire.

Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport is Peru's busiest hub and one of South America's most important gateways, handling flights to over 80 destinations worldwide.
