Discover trips visiting Lima, Peru
Colonial streets, coastal views and easy links to Peru’s Andean icons
Lima is a great place to start a trip in Peru, with grand plazas, old streets and great food by the Pacific. Many itineraries mix time in the capital with big Andean sights, so a guided walk in the old centre can sit with museum time and sea views. Trips from Lima often link to flights and scenic train rides, so it is easy to reach Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, with both group and private travel styles. Many trips are partly guided, so you get guided sights and free time in the city.

Why start in Lima
A capital city stay that adds culture, history and a great start to Peru
Lima adds real depth to Peru itineraries, as it mixes old history, lively areas and some of the best museums, with the Pacific close by. Many trips start with a guided look at the old centre, and then give time to see areas like Miraflores at a slow pace, which feels good after a long flight. As a gateway, Lima also makes it easy to link to the Andes, so the move from sea air to Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu feels smooth and well paced. If you are weighing up guided tours that include Lima, the big plus is the mix of plan and freedom. Many itineraries are partly guided, with local guides for key sights and more time on your own in between. Other trips are fully guided if you want support from start to end. Some tours visit more than one country, like Ecuador, Galapagos and Argentina, but the Peru part still keeps the focus on Lima’s culture, history and easy links to the main sights.
