On this Valentine's Day as you waltz into another year of togetherness, let the flame of love glow brighter by planning a Valentine vacation to the dreamy City of Kings- Lima, Peru. Lima, Peru is the capital as well as the biggest city in Peru. Lima, Peru, the greatest South American metropolis for more than three hundred years, is also the cultural and economic heart of the nation.
Lima, Peru covers the valleys of the Chillon, Rimac and Lurin rivers and stretches on a desert like coast dominating the Bay of Lima in the Pacific Ocean. Lima's atmosphere is slightly surrealistic, chiefly due to the mist called garua that veils the city between May and October.
If you want to relax on a sun drenched white beach then head to the Southern part of Lima dotted with miles of beaches lashed by the cold waters of the ocean where you will find the lines of huge, gorgeous sand dunes. Lima offers a myriad collection of cuisine from around the globe with specialty in the Peruvian "criollo" dishes. The traditional ceviche, jalea, tiradito, the shrimp cocktail, picarones, mazamorra morada and cau cau are some of the mouth-watering dishes that can satisfy even the most demanding of tastes.
Lima offers accommodation facilities in hotels, hostels, rental house, inns and B&B that promises to make your stay a romantic one cocooned in all sort of luxuries. Alberque Miraflores Park Hotel, Ariosto Hotel, Boulevard Hotel and Barranco's Backpackers Inn are some of the names where you would receive absolute privacy and comfort.
