More than food!
Since its establishment as the capital of the Spanish colony and through contemporary history, Lima has fit the definition of cosmopolitan. Peru’s capital has accumulated, evolved and adapted elements from the cultures of its predecessors, immigrants, visitors, and its own innovations to blend, mesh, and mold into a unique, sophisticated urban society.
It is applauded for its culinary range, celebrated for its artistic environment, mourned during its trials against terrorism, criticized for its convoluted city development, and regarded for its patchwork culture throughout the past four centuries.
