Located on the central western coast of Peru, Lima is a bustling city filled with friendly people, important historical sites, museums and a buzzing café culture.
Lima tours start in the historic heart of the city - the Plaza de Armas, a spacious square with a 17th-century bronze fountain, which is surrounded on all sides by impressive buildings such as the Government Palace, the cathedral and the Municiplidad de Lima (town hall) which contains a magnificent library.
Lima's business district is alive with shops, restaurants, cafés and theatres, from which a cobbled road leads down a gully to a sweep of four pebbled beaches, known as the Costa Verde.
Abercrombie & Kent's Lima tours are the perfect way to explore this vibrant city.
