Lima, Peru
Lima has reinvented itself as one of the world's great food cities, and walking its neighborhoods reveals the cultural layers behind the cuisine. The UNESCO-listed historic center features the grand Plaza Mayor, the cathedral where Francisco Pizarro's remains rest, and ornate colonial balconies in Moorish-influenced wooden latticework. The Miraflores district perches on cliffs above the Pacific, with the Malecon offering miles of oceanfront walking and paragliding above the waves. Barranco, the bohemian beach neighborhood, charms with its colorful colonial houses, the Bridge of Sighs, and a thriving gallery and nightlife scene. Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca adobe pyramid illuminated at night, rises incongruously from the middle of modern Miraflores. The Larco Museum displays one of the finest collections of pre-Columbian art in the Americas, and the food markets showcase the incredible biodiversity of Peruvian ingredients.
