2025 Lima Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

A wonderful week-long trip to Peru during spring break in March. On March 9th, I flew from Hartford to Atlanta and transferred to Quito, the capital of Ecuador, where I stayed overnight. On March 10th, I flew to Lima, the capital of Peru, and then to Cusco in the evening. I checked into the Wyndham Hotel and met with the owner of the travel agency. I paid $500 for two people and learned about the general itinerary. On March 11th, at around 6:40 am, a car picked us up from the hotel lobby to start the Sacred Valley day tour. We visited the Chinchero traditional textile market, Moray archaeological terraces, Maras salt mines, and Ollantaytambo Sanctuary. After lunch, we skipped the Pisac Sanctuary and took a train directly to the foot of Machu Picchu Mountain. In the evening, the Machu Picchu day tour group contacted us at the hotel and explained the itinerary for the next day. On March 12th, at 7:00 am, we gathered in the plaza and queued for the 8:00 am bus that took us to the Machu Picchu Sanctuary. We spent about half a day exploring the entire Machu Picchu city. At noon, we took the bus back down the mountain and had lunch. After lunch, we took the train back to Ollantaytambo and then a car back to Cusco. By the time we checked into the hotel, it was already dusk. On March 13th, I visited the Twelve-Angled Stone, the Temple of the Sun, and the Plaza de Armas in the morning. All of these sites are located near the Wyndham Hotel, making them easy to visit. At noon, I took a plane to Lima. After taking the airport bus to the Crowne Plaza Hotel, I visited the Plaza del Amor, the Bridge of Sighs in Barranco, and the Graffiti Wall. On March 14th, I took a DiDi to Plaza San Martín, which is very close to the Plaza de Armas. On the way to the Plaza de Armas, there were many people in yellow vests offering currency exchange. Their exchange rates were much higher than the bank's, so I exchanged a small amount. I felt like I had lost a lot of money because I had exchanged currency at the bank beforehand. At 12:00 pm, I witnessed the changing of the guard ceremony at the Government Palace. Near the Government Palace, there were people holding signs offering sightseeing tours by bus. We each paid 20 soles to participate in this city tour. It was worth seeing and covered the main attractions in the city center. In the evening, I went to the Fountain Park to admire the fountain plaza, which is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. On March 15th, I took an early morning flight. After retrieving our luggage from the hotel, we took a DiDi to the airport. DiDi International is very convenient and affordable, but you need to pay in cash, so be sure to have soles on hand. The drivers were all very friendly. Some spoke English, while others only spoke Spanish. However, I was able to understand some things through body language. In conclusion, Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lima in Peru are all worth visiting.

2024.08.31 Today I walked around downtown Lima and recorded my itinerary and experience for the whole day. After a hearty breakfast at the hotel in the morning, we started our exploration of Lima’s old town. The first stop is the Basilica and Convent of San Francisco, a 16th-century church known for its Baroque architecture and catacombs. It is one of Lima’s most historic religious sites. However, we only went into the church next door, and did not go into the museum part which required payment. Next, we strolled around the Plaza Mayor de Lima, which is the historical center of Lima and is surrounded by important buildings such as the Presidential Palace, City Hall, and the Cathedral. We accidentally discovered a free museum, Museo Central - MUCEN. The exhibitions inside exceeded our expectations. Many precious collections about Peruvian history and culture were displayed. For free travelers who want to learn about local culture, this is a place not to be missed. Next, we walked over to eat Churros, Churros Virgen del Carmen S.A.C! When you go there, you will see two queues. You have to queue up to buy tickets first, and then queue up on the other side after buying the tickets. Fortunately, I don’t have two people, so one person goes to pay and the other one queues to get Churros. We ordered the caramel-flavored Manjar Blanco, which is delicious! One ticket costs 3.5sol (about NT$30). In fact, if we had known this earlier, we should have lined up early in the morning near the Basilica of St. Francis and the Convento de San Francisco, because there were not many people at that time! Because when I was queuing I realized that was where we were going to get off the taxi! Afterwards, we went to the Inka Market which was recommended by many people. We thought there would be many unique handicrafts, but in fact the types of goods there were very uniform, which made it a bit boring to visit. In the end, we left without buying anything. In comparison, I prefer the things I saw in Cusco or Pisac before, which had richer texture and choices. Next, we went to Al Toke Pez for lunch and ordered a takeout combo, which included a small portion of seafood fried rice, ceviche and fried squid for only 30 sol (about NT$250). My friend and I both agreed that the fried rice was delicious, but the ceviche was a bit sour. However, the price and portion are very reasonable, I really recommend it! In the afternoon, we went to the Barranco district with a strong artistic atmosphere. We first went to Dédalo, where there are many exquisite handicrafts and design products. The prices are slightly higher, but the quality is quite good. Afterwards, we had a cup of coffee at Caleta Dolsa Coffee and enjoyed some relaxing time. Finally, we accidentally walked into a weekend market and couldn’t help buying more stones. I felt like I was about to become a stone collector! Today’s trip in Lima was really fulfilling and enjoyable. Tomorrow will be our last day in Peru! Happy times always pass by so quickly. The journey is coming to an end. There is only one week left before we return to Taiwan!

The most famous landscape in the park should be the sculpture by the Peruvian artist Secret Victor Delfin the sculpture, which shows that a pair of lovers are warmly kissing.

"Lima Cathedral: Hundreds of years of wind and rain, but still survived after several earthquakes" Spain for 300 years of colonial rule in South America and the ancient city of Lima is an important testimony of Spain's colonial rule against Peru. The old town retains too many historical sites, disembarking, heading straight to Lima Cathedral, and experiencing several earthquake-defying churches. Cathedral of Lima, located on the northeast side of Plaza de Armas, is a Roman Catholic church originally built in 1555 and completed in 1649. It was damaged by the 1746 earthquake and has been repaired several times. Reconstruction, but still maintains the colonial architecture and appearance, because architecture and repair have experienced many years, and also has a diversified character in architectural style. The existing buildings are a mixture of Baroque, Gothic and Romanesque architectures, which caused considerable controversy and was quite different from the original Baroque architectural style designed by the Spanish Renaissance architect Francisco Besera. The entire church is white in appearance, and the two towers that are tall and tall are his hallmarks. The main entrance of the church is engraved with many biblical figures, such as the disciples of Jesus, in a Renaissance style. The entire church was built with gray mud, and as soon as you enter the church you can see the long chandelier falling from the top. There is a beautiful chapel and silver altar in the church, and the small auditorium has the shackles of the Spanish colonial leader Pizarro who moved here in 1891. The exquisite dome of the church, the unique checkerboard floor and the carved choir sit on the table. Inside the cathedral there are many churches on both sides of the Church of Jesus Maria and the Church of El Tenov and the Jesuit Church. Impressive is the statue on the church platform. Once you enter the church, you can see this dazzling presence, making it more solemn and sacred, with a melodious organ sound~ Address: Jiron Carabaya Lima 15001 . Transport: In the old town of Peru, it is recommended to take a taxi. Tickets: 10 Sol for adults, 2 Sol for children Opening hours: 9 to Monday to Friday

"Walk in the Inca market, special crafts, dark food, there is always the same thing that can make you clap your hands" memory of Peru, starting from Lima. The first step in integrating with Lima begins with the Inca market. The market is in the miraflores area, next to the Indian market, opposite the Inca Square, these three places are very close, so you can stroll around the other two. The Inca market is very large, with bronzes, silver ornaments, alpaca products, glass products, Turkish jade articles, wood carvings and various handicrafts. Many items are very Peruvian or Inca traditional culture. The market is full of shops, neat and uniform. The main products sold here are crafts, which are more exquisite in work and fair in price. I bought a small piece of jewelry, about 6 sols, and I can also use a knife. I can bargain about 2 sols. / Take a look at the flowers. The alpaca shawl is a special gift of the Lima market. The shawl has a soft texture, the warmth effect is very obvious, the color is gorgeous, and the preparation process is very comfortable. In addition, there are a lot of Latin American Inca alpaca plush products, super soft and super soft. All kinds of alpaca sweaters, blankets, and cushions are fluffy, and I really want to bring them home. It feels like real cashmere. There are also Ma Ma's most home-grown produce, tropical fruits, herbs and legendary maca. The best frog juice in dark dishes is also freshly squeezed. I couldn't resist the temptation, or bravely tried some of Lima's specialties~ In addition to eating, here you can see the locals making handicrafts and seeing one piece of crafts in their hands. Inca's color is particularly eye-catching, the color is very skillful to use, seeing such a bright color, the mood is suddenly cheerful~ walk around, buy some small crafts, eat and drink and experience the special food. The shrinking of a city, not the tallest building, but the market of such a pyrotechnic ~ address: Petit Thouars 5321, Distrito de Lima 15074. Transportation: Located in Lima City, take a taxi or walk. Opening time: 10

Traveling in Peru||Lima went out to see the sea lion before watching the BBC documentary, and learned that 500,000 cockroaches lived on the coastline of Peru, accounting for 1/4 of this variety. When you arrive in Lima, you can't miss Bird Island. You can see the flying dragonfly and the penguins from the pier, and the other sea lions are beyond my expectations. It is almost what I saw in my life. The sum of sea lions. If the weather is not strong, you can go to the sea to play with them. The scheduled trip is a three-hour trip to the sea. At 10:00 in the morning, the penguin sea lion can see it. The tour includes swimming with sea lions, and friends who want to go into the water remember to wear swimsuits. Tips: 1The traffic in Lima is very bad. It is recommended to book a taxi one day earlier 2Self-prepared seasickness medicine 3In fact, the sea lion is a bit stinky, and it is psychologically prepared to swim in the water.

Traveling in Peru - Lima, where art is everywhere, this is the case in the city, where you can feel its freedom and the art of seeing it everywhere. Whether it's paragliding in the city, or the classical and modern architecture, the performances of street performers, special graffiti, rainbow steps, etc., there is an atmosphere full of art.

Traveling in Peru - the coastline of Lima is always so charming. In North America, I personally have always liked California's Sunny Beach, but I didn't expect Peru in South America to have the sunshine and the beach that I feel familiar. Ranging It is not the same as California. The coastline of Lima makes me feel more mysterious than California and feel the different waves. Its better not to compare, because both are my favorite.
