If you’re planning a trip to Peru, you might see the capital as merely a necessary stopover on your way to the mountains. That would be a huge mistake, though, because Lima is now the undisputed gastronomic capital of the world<\/strong>. This is where you’ll find Maido, the restaurant crowned the best on the planet for 2025, and four local establishments feature in the current top fifty. The city’s culinary prestige will reach its peak on November 4, 2026, when The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards will be announced here for the very first time in South American history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the food, this metropolis of nearly ten million offers ideal conditions for starting your journey. The tourist districts sit practically at sea level, making them a perfect base for acclimatization before the demanding flight to high-altitude Cusco<\/strong>. Give Lima at least two or three days and let yourself be surprised by its stunning cliffs above the Pacific, colonial architecture, and modern neighborhoods full of greenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When planning your 2026 trip, keep a few developments in mind. Since June 2025, the brand-new and beautiful Jorge Ch\u00e1vez airport terminal has been operational<\/strong>, but access roads are still under construction, so the journey to the center can take up to an hour and a half. At the same time, don’t be alarmed by news about the state of emergency currently in effect in Lima until roughly the end of October 2026. This measure is primarily aimed at protecting local businesses from gangs and practically doesn’t affect ordinary tourists in the safe neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
