The city of kings is one of the few South American capitals in front of the sea and it happens to be inbetween different sea currents. Lima is a paradise for surfers and those that love seafood. Lima´s cuisine is considered one of the best and more diverse in the world.
Museo Nacional de Antropología, Arqueología e Historia del Perú
Quite good and very didactic; the area surrounding it is worth a walk.
Museo Arqueológico Rafael Larco Hoyle
Showcases remarkable chronological galleries providing an excellent overview on 3,000 years of development of Peruvian pre-Columbian history. It is in a unique vice-royal mansion of the 18th century built over a 7th century pre-Columbian pyramid, and is surrounded by beautiful gardens. Popular thanks to its ample collection of erotic pottery from the Mochica culture and the gold and jewelry of ancient Peru. Excellent garden restaurant.
The park is home to the zoo and botanical garden of Lima, the ancient city of Maranga and the museum of Ernst W. Middendorf. There's a lot to see here, everything from hippos to mummies.
