Lima

Lima is Peru’s sprawling capital and the country’s political, economic, and cultural hub. Situated on the Pacific coast, this mega-city of over 10 million people is the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world. It’s a dynamic blend of modern development and historical significance, having served as the capital since the colonial era. Expect a fast-paced environment and a geostrategic location that makes it a key player in regional trade as headquarters of the Andean Community.

Lima is a city of contrasts. While offering a sophisticated urban experience, it also reflects significant socio-economic diversity. The metropolitan area encompasses both modern districts and historically-formed communities. The city’s infrastructure includes the international Jorge Chávez Airport and a major seaport in Callao, making it a well-connected base for exploring Peru and beyond.
