"Lima is like Peru’s cool, underrated cousin that you didn't realize you needed to hang out with. It's this awesome mashup of modern city life and old-world charm, all sitting right by the coast. You’ve got everything—colorful colonial buildings in the historic center, trendy rooftop bars in Miraflores, and the artsy, laid-back vibe of Barranco (seriously, the street art there is a vibe). Oh, and the food? Next level. Lima is pretty much a foodie’s paradise, from ceviche that’ll blow your mind to fancy spots that put the city on the global map. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did, but Lima’s the kind of city that surprises you in the best way!"

"To start my trip, I chose to spend a few days in Peru's largest city and capital: Lima. In August, the weather in Lima is very mild, so beaches were not an option. However, I did enjoy getting the chance to explore the neighborhoods of Miraflores and Barranco. "
