CircuitsHotelsExcursions
Lima, Peru's capital and the country's principal air gateway, is the starting point for almost every program heading into the southern Andes. It concentrates international connectivity, a broad hotel base and a globally recognised dining scene, with landmark restaurants across Miraflores, Barranco and San Isidro.
Its colonial historic centre, museums with pre-Columbian collections and the clifftop seafront give half a day to a full day of touring before onward connection to Cusco. It functions as an arrival and departure hub more than a final destination.
Lima's coast is mild year-round, without extremes. From May to October the garúa, a damp coastal fog with grey skies, prevails, while December to March brings a sunnier, warmer summer. For gastronomy and city touring, any time of year works well.
MICE & groups
Lima has genuine congress infrastructure and hotels with real group capacity, making it Peru's strongest MICE base. The city supports larger meetings and conventions before incentive groups continue south.
Incentives
Gastronomy anchors the incentive offer: signature tasting dinners, market tours and cooking and pisco workshops with local chefs. Walking programs through Barranco and along the cliffs add a strong urban and cultural component.
Access & logistics
Reached by air via Jorge Chávez airport (LIM), Peru's main international hub, with direct connections to Europe and the Americas. Domestic flights to Cusco (CUZ) and Puerto Maldonado (PEM) depart from Lima, along with the overland route to Paracas on the Pan-American Highway.
Trade notes
Budget one or two nights on arrival and often one more on return, using the stopover for the gastronomy proposal. Lima opens the classic Lima–Cusco–Sacred Valley–Machu Picchu spine and fits well across all long-haul source markets.
