Lima is the sprawling capital of Peru, perched on cliffs above the Pacific and renowned as one of Latin America's great culinary capitals.

Good to know before you go
The currency is the Peruvian sol, and carrying some cash is useful for markets and taxis. Traffic is heavy and the local buses are confusing, so getting around is easiest with the Metropolitano rapid-bus line along the coast or with ride apps like Uber, Cabify, and DiDi rather than street taxis. Spanish is the main language, so basic phrases help; keep an eye on belongings in busy areas.
