Lima tours are an important part of your overall Peru travel experience. Most travelers will assume Lima is just a place to stop by before heading to other parts of Peru like Machu Picchu or The Amazon rainforest.
The truth is that Lima has much to offer and it all starts with your visit to Miraflores, where you can stare at the Pacific Ocean while enjoying a refreshing and delicious ceviche.
During your time in Lima you can book a city tour, visit the Pachacamac ruins, the various museums in the center as well as the art galleries in Miraflores and Barranco.
Adventure seekers can go paragliding in Miraflores or head to one of the many hikes near Lima in Huarochiri.
There are many family friendly tours like a visit to the chocolate museum in Miraflores or a tour through the pre Incan ruins located throughout the province and of course family biking tours that take your through the Pacific coastline.
Most travelers will stay in the Miraflores district. This is primarily due to its proximity to other districts and its infrastructure. Almost all Lima base tours will begin in Miraflores, even biking tours. In Miraflores you can find luxury oriented hotels, boutique hotels and affordable hostels.
Lima has a different climate that Cusco and Machu Picchu. The absolute best time to Visit Lima is during the summer months that go from December to March.
