Lima, Peru

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Lima is Peru's sprawling coastal capital, home to over 10 million people and set dramatically on cliffs above the Pacific Ocean. It serves as the main gateway to Peru's most iconic destinations, including Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, and the Amazon basin. The city is renowned as one of Latin America's culinary capitals, with a world-class dining scene rooted in Peruvian, Japanese, and African influences. Travellers also come for its well-preserved colonial historic centre (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), vibrant neighbourhoods like Miraflores and Barranco, and a lively arts and nightlife culture.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Lima, Peru yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
