Kick Off Your Peru Getaway in Lima
Peru offers visitors a wide variety of opportunities to enjoy their vacation almost any way they would like. From the Pacific Ocean surfing, to Andes Mountains hikes, to the pre-Columbian ruins, tourists can do one thing or several things. Peru offers so many choices of activities, that travelers often overlook one of the most wonderful places in the country – the capitol city of Lima.
Lima is considered the central hub of South America, and it is here you will find the widest mix of lifestyles, cultures, and businesses. Start off by booking a room in one of the many luxury hotels in the city. You can arrange all of your adventures from here, and a comfortable room to come back to is a necessity. Any of the Hacienda Hotels will provide you a super stay and a friendly and knowledgeable staff to help you plan your sightseeing trips.
Dining in Lima is an unequaled experience. Peruvian food is some of the best tasting you will ever consume, and offers a variety of choices from those you may be used to at home. Even if you don’t care for the local cuisine, there are still plenty of other restaurants and eateries where you can find almost any type of fare you can imagine. In between meals, the shopping is fantastic and the local entertainment is amazing.
From your hotel room in Lima, plan on visiting some of the well known tourist spots to ensure a complete adventure. Machu Picchu, the ancient ruins of a pre-Columbian civilization built over six hundred years ago, is by far the biggest and most fascinating site in the country. But there are other “must-see’s” as well, including the Sacred Valley, the City of Cusco, once the center of Incan society, Lake Titicaca, and Ollantaytambo, a steep-walled valley at the end of the Sacred Valley.
