Lima

Lima is the capital and largest city of Peru. It is located on the Pacific coast, and its metropolitan area is home to over 10 million people. Lima was founded by the Spanish in 1535, and it quickly became the center of Spanish colonial rule in South America.

Today, Lima is a modern metropolis with a vibrant culture. It is home to many museums, theaters, and art galleries. The city also has a number of historical sites, including the Plaza de Armas, the Cathedral of Lima, and the Government Palace.

Other Parts of Peru

Peru is a large and diverse country, with a variety of landscapes and climates. The Andes Mountains run through the center of the country, and the Amazon rainforest covers the eastern part of Peru. The country also has a long coastline on the Pacific Ocean.

Some of the most popular tourist destinations in Peru include the ruins of Machu Picchu, the Nazca Lines, and the Lake Titicaca. Machu Picchu is an ancient Inca city located in the Andes Mountains. The Nazca Lines are a series of giant geoglyphs that are located in the desert of southern Peru. Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world, and it is located on the border of Peru and Bolivia.
