Walking in Lima

Lima's historic centre of colonial churches and balconies, the clifftop districts of Miraflores and Barranco and its famous food scene make it far more than a stopover on the way to Cusco.

Weather. It almost never rains, but from June to October the sky is often grey and damp.

Distances. The centre is about 30 minutes from Miraflores by bus or taxi.
