In recent years, Peru has experienced remarkable growth, both as a nation and as a tourist destination—and its capital, Lima, reflects this transformation. Not long ago, Lima was mostly seen as a layover city en route to Cusco and the famed Machu Picchu or the Inca Trail. But in recent times, Lima has shed that role and risen as a top travel destination in its own right.
This shift was driven by investments, modernization, strong promotional campaigns, glowing recommendations from past visitors, and the spotlight from international documentaries and media features. All of this turned the world’s attention to Peru’s capital and highlighted its cultural, historical, and modern appeal.
Foreign travelers are no longer just passing through—they’re choosing Lima as a destination worth exploring. And they’re loving it.
