Reasons to Reconsider Lima

Normally we advise against spending too much time in the big, busy cities when traveling to a new country. The hustle and bustle of a big city can often hide the finer points of a country's culture, particularly if you don't have a good grasp of the local language.

Julian Worricker recently disputed this point at the Times Online, referring to his recent trip to Peru. Many people insist that Lima is just a necessary stopping point on the way to Cusco and the Inca Trail. Lima, Peru’s capital, and the commercial and cultural centre of the country, is a city of contrasts where you can live like royalty in prestigious clubs and restaurants, while nearby people will be struggling to make ends meet in the slums surrounding the city.  For all its contrasts, travelers should give this city a chance to get introduced to Peru’s vivid culture.

Lima’s colonial past is evident in its architecture, its modern present is obvious in all it has to offer for an unparalleled gastronomic experience, outstanding museum visits, quality shopping and bustling night scene.  In Lima you can get a taste for the variety of influences in the Peruvian culture by attending a peña (a folklore show with live Afro-Peruvian music), seeing a ‘marinera’ dance (a beautiful, passionate dance with colonial influences), seeing a live jazz show, attending a bullfight, cheering at a soccer game and riding the Peruvian ‘paso’ horse (a unique breed of horses with an elegant walk).
