Lima

Lima Travel Guide

It won't be love at first sight when you are introduced to Lima. Peru's capital -- clogged with traffic and choked with fumes -- doesn't make a very good first impression. But spend a few days wandering around the regal edifices surrounding the Plaza de Armas, among the gnarled olive trees of San Isidro, or along the winding lanes in the coastal community of Barranco and you might find yourself charmed.
