Miraflores' beachfront
Lima's most upscale neighborhood Although Lima was supposed to be a short pit-stop on the way to Cusco and Machu Picchu, we ended up staying there longer than expected due to stand-by issues on the way back. The first day was spent just walking around Miraflores, drinking, eating and gambling. Although I didn't end up a big winner, I did have a great time!
Lima is the capital and largest city of Peru and is known as the Gastronomical Capital of Latin America. The coast allows for the freshest seafood and ceviche is by far the the dish of choice. It's the "Peruvian national dish" and with it's fresh and bold flavors I'm not at all surprised.
FYI - The panorama on top of this listing is actually of the Plaza de Armas in Cusco (Cuzco)
