Lima congregates Peru’s character through its gastronomic, artistic and cultural fusions. With its almost 10 million inhabitants, it displays the contagious and vertiginous energy of the great capitals of the world. It is a combination of rich history, which may be discovered in its historic center and in many districts close to Miraflores, and modernity.
Lima is located in the valley formed by the rivers Rimac, Lurin and Chillon, in front of the Pacific Ocean. Its climate is mild, with two distinct seasons: the radiant summer, from December to April, with temperatures between 19 and 30 ºC, and the cloudy and grey winter, when temperatures drop to 13 ºC. Thanks to its location, Lima has a perfect combination of the coastal climate and the climate of the low mountains, as it may de discovered in Cañete, Pachacamac or Lunahuana.
