Lima

Welcome you with open arms

A city overlooking the sea

Costa Verde © Evelyn Merino-Reyna

Its pre-Hispanic past, and its history as the capital of the Viceroyalty, together with its huaca temples and colonial mansions, are all testimony of the city’s grandiose past. A melting pot of traditions expressed in its cooking, art and history, "the City of Kings" is a city for all tastes.

A city of the world

Lima’s historical downtown is comprised of the so called Lima Checkerboard and the Rimac district. It is preserved in Unesco’s List of Humanity’s Cultural Heritage sites to honor its architectural and historical treasures.

Historical center city

Squares, streets, convents, churches, mansions and the Cathedral are all pieces of different architectural styles that talk to us about the city’s colonial past, when it was the continent’s most important city. An urban space that summarizes the capital’s fascinating contrasts: at equal distance from the Main Square (Plaza de Armas) lie Chinatown and the centuries-old Acho Bullring. Its vibrant present and remarkable state of conservation led to its designation as a UNESCO Humanity Cultural Heritage site.

Costa Verde

A coastal band stretching 32 kilometers along the Pacific Ocean and across eight Lima districts, Costa Verde is the only road running at the foot of Lima’s cliffs. It features bicycle lanes, sport fields, free mini-gyms, restaurants enjoying privileged views and to the south, open beaches, some frequented since early morning by surfers riding the ocean’s waves.

Modern Miraflores

Fuente: INEI

A green neighborhood hosting world ranked restaurants, magnificent bookstores, large hotels, bicycle lanes, art galleries and bars. Its oceanfront boulevard above the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean connects a dozen public parks local families visit for walks, sports practice and other outdoors activities.

Bohemian Barranco

Lima’s smallest district and yet the one with the most distinctive personality, Barranco’s bohemian atmosphere, hidden parks and legendary bars sit side by side with cultural forums, from the Mario Testino museum (MATE) to the largest collection of Vice-royal XVI century art. Its thematic restaurants and bars housed in restored elegant mansions from the turn of the XX century cater to the trendy crowd. Barranco borders Miraflores to the north and shares with it an oceanfront boulevard. Its museums, theaters and independent art shows, as well as open air urban art on the neighborhood walls, music festivals, art fairs and health food marts and restaurants are some other local attractions.

Cosmopolitan San Isidro

A prime business and residential quarter, San Isidro adds its large and modern office buildings, residential neighborhoods, a private golf link, trendy foreign and local designers’ clothing stores windows, to the city’s landscape. One of Lima’s most visited parks, El Olivar, is located in San Isidro. Some century-old olive trees (hence the park’s Spanish name) still stand on its 87 thousand square meters.

A millenary past

Caral, a site located 182 kilometers north of Lima, is the America's oldest citadel. Built about five thousand years ago, it was revealed to the world in 1997 by Ruth Shady, a Peruvian archeologist, and is preserved now as a Unesco Humanity Cultural Heritage site. Meanwhile, Pachacamac, located 31 kilometers south of Lima, is a pre-Inca sanctuary that was one of the largest ceremonial centers on the Peruvian coastal band. Its brand new, impressive site museum opened in 2016. Lima itself features emblematic museums, like the Pedro de Osma Museum, home to the most important collection of colonial art; the Amano Museum, featuring an impressive curatorship of pre-Columbian textiles; the Rafael Larco Herrera Archeological Museum, housing the largest collection of gold, silver and ceramics handicrafts and historical pieces, and Peru’s Archeology, Anthropology and History Museum, with over 300 thousand pieces showcasing our pre-Hispanic, colonial and republican legacy.

Callao ocean port

The name of Callao reminds us of the rhythm of salsa music, the scent of the sea, and soccer. It brings back the taste of a fish sandwich, and fish and onion tempura. Two recent additions to the port’s urban landscape are its arts quarter in Historic Callao (Callao Monumental: Facebook/fugazCallao), a recent initiative to rescue that city section’s historical architectural landmarks, but also welcoming modern art interventions, galleries and cultural centers. And then there is La Punta, a beach residential quarter and resort with two oceanfront boulevards running along the point’s (hence its Spanish name) north and south coastlines, and both featuring nautical clubs and pebble beaches, with a sea as calm as a swimming pool.

Candy for the eyes Orchids of a thousand colors

ďż˝I

t is absolutely unnecessary for you to learn their scientific names because there are more than 3500 species distributed among 240 genera. But we definitely recommend remembering that almost 775 of them can be found no where else in the world since they grow only in Peru, some even at altitudes of 4,600 masl. Such wealth is explained by the number of ecosystems existing in the country, a guarantee for the presence of hundreds of different forms, sizes and colors. You may want to write down on your trip diary the following name: Phragmipedium peruvianum, which has become Peruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative orchid. Photography: Ministerio del Ambiente

Sounds with soul and fusion Feel the beat

eruvian music is a full-bodied, elegant sound that has been around since the beginning of time, echoing in traditions that are constantly DDDDDDDbeing reinvented and moving people, whether in the mountains, jungles, or deserts or on its rivers and lakes, to sing and to dance with intense passion and emotion. Its wealth stems from its diversity as well as the melting pot of the important cultures that have influenced it over the centuries. Its heritage is rooted in its people, who have inherited sounds that make people want to celebrate and to fall in love. The musical concept of Peru is diverse, from the ancient musicians of Caral, who lived over 5000 years ago, to the Andean tradition of accompanying the labor of plowing fields with songs, the “marineras” that honor our national hero, Miguel Grau, and songs dealing with sports composed by José Escajadillo or Augusto Polo Campos, or the guitars of Javier Lazo or Yuri Juárez, whose album, Tangolandó, is an explosive fusion of tango and AfroPeruvian music. The result is music filled with moods and sounds that are linked to the passion of Peruvians. This repertoire was created by knowledgeable musicians from dozens of cultures and civilizations that flourished in what is today Peru. The process produced a collection of music with its own stamp. We could even say there is a Peruvian brand of music. Using this as their launch pad, composers and artists of this music have brought themselves fame in internationals markets.

Delicious aromas Coffee and Cacao

The climatic conditions, soil and altitude, along with careful harvesting techniques, lead to traits that give peruvian coffee a special flavor. Because of this, the beans grown here have sensory traits that guarantee a delicious aroma and brew that delights the most demanding markets.

IN THE WORLD Coffee and cacao growing areas

PERU

Cacao

Piura’s White cacao grows over some 1400 hectares under the attentive care of over 1000 growers.

Coffee

Peru produces arabica species, which is one of the mild varieties, and it is prized around the world because the vast majority of our coffee is grown as more than 4000 feet above sea level in microclimates that make it unique on the world market.

uccessfully rescuing cacao’s tasty -even addictive- native species requires determining the exact fermentation and drying conditions naaidnneeded to achieve their best qualities. But cacao’s cultivation also has a significant social side to it. For instance, in San Martin region, coca leaf growers are gradually substituting cacao for illicit crops and are now bent on rescuing native cacao species as a way to further expand cacao cultivation. Other varieties that have found wide acceptance among chocolatiers and the public include the delicate-tasting white cacao of Piura, cacao from Amazonas, and the Chuncho variety from Cusco. Now, many chocolate makers have turned their eyes to these generous berries to use them to make gourmet chocolate bars and bonbons, having won several international chocolate awards along the way. Peru’s Cacao and Chocolate Salon has gained importance and a national competition has been held for two years in a row. Coffee tells a similar story. It grows in the high jungle area of the eastern Andean slopes, the same area as cacao where outstanding varieties are grown with care and responsibility. Numerous growers are now betting on this crop first brought to Peru at the end of the XIX century. From their orchards, coffee starts its journey directly to markets. The farmers’ cleaner production and fair trade schemes have contributed to the expansion of "author coffees". Meanwhile, experimenting with new filtering methods and a focus on native coffees creates an ever stronger self-feeding value chain.

Feel the generous spirit of Pisco Raise your glass

The best way to enjoy Pisco

Connoisseurs say Pisco must be tasted with love, like a caress before a never ending kiss.

Connoisseurs advise using the right type of glass, the Pisco glass. Shaped as a tulip, the Pisco glass highlights the perfume of Pisco once poured. As your taste explores the generous spirit that goes into Pisco making.

isco is a grape distillate, a spirit, made exclusively in Peru by fermentation of fresh must. It is still distilled following the traditions of itsfirst of its first makers, dating back to the end of the XVI century. Pisco is a fishing village located on the South American shores of the Pacific Ocean, 230km south of Lima, Peru’s capital. The name Pisco is a Quechua word, the ancient language of Peru, originally used for a type of bird and which gradually came to be used to name different villages and towns, such as “Piscohuasi” (the house of birds), “Piscopampa” (the prairie of birds), and “Piscobamba” (the field of birds). Pisco was the name given to the “Valley of the Birds” and by extension to the community living there, the Piskus. Later, during the Spanish colony, the name Pisco was given to the harbor located in this valley, from where an outstanding local spirit was shipped to Spain and other Spanish colonies. As a result, colonial customs registered the distillate arriving from this port as a “spirit coming from the port of Pisco” or simply “Pisco”. The regions authorized to produce Pisco are the coastal valleys in the departments of Lima, Ica, Arequipa, Moquegua and Tacna.

The glass must be filled a third full, to better appreciate the brightness, transparency and clarity of Pisco.

we slowly bring the glass closer to the 2. Then, nose though never forgetting it must be tasted in its purest forms. We will then discover the bouquet of each variety. The bouquet of a quality Pisco can be a source of indescribable pleasure. the glass to the lips of your mouth, to 3. Bring patiently and slowly appreciate the taste of each sip of distillate. Pisco must not burn your throat, but rather go down smoothly as a nectar. Cellar and vineyard, Ica © Daniel Silva / PROMPERÚ

Pisco is distilled from 8 grape varieties:

non-aromatic Quebranta, Negra Criolla, Mollar and Uvina, and aromatic Italia, Moscatel, Torontel and Albilla.

The charm of Lima

At the beginning of the 20th century, Union Street, in Lima’s historical downtown, convened the young republic’s elites. Local aristocrats and literati met at its numerous bars and cafes, including Morris Bar, owned by Victor Morris, an American. Inspired by whisky sour, a mix of bourbon whisky, lemon juice and sugar, Morris mixed the first Pisco sours in the 1920s. Over time, the recipe was perfected by his apprentices, who later took it to the Maury and Bolivar hotels where Pisco captivated the palates of personalities like John Wayne, Orson Welles, Walt Disney, Clark Gable and movies belle Ava Gardner. Ever since, Pisco sour has been Peru’s emblematic cocktail.

Flavors that feed your soul Taste the moment

Prepare by yourself

The best way to learn about our culinary diversity is by tasting it. Take a journey through our most remote history, to travel our territory from the sea to the jungle, to appreciate the knowledge of farmers, the sagacity of our cooks and enjoy the flavors that make us unique.

Cebiche

(4 servings) With five simple ingredients, the intimate creativity of Peruvian cooks of every type creates so many variations that each region can boast its own. From northern style using hyacinthbean, through from Callao port recipes using red hot “rocoto” peppers, to food carts’ as sold in Lima, served with a home style seafood tempura, or combining fish and seafood.

�I

ntegrating a world of stories that come from the most diverse cultures, our gastronomy has been nourished by influences that make it stand out among the world’s most powerful. The Spaniards came first. During the Conquest and the Viceroyalty they incorporated techniques, customs and ingredients that fused harmoniously with what Peru already had. With them also came Moorish traditions, which we still find nowadays in the sweets we eat. Later on, Africans, who arrived to work on estates and houses of ancestry, taught us the wise use of variety meats. The Chinese introduced their masterful sautés, while the fusion of this cooking technique with Peruvian traditions resulted in modern “chifa”. The Japanese migrants unleashed in that fusion a current called today nikkei cuisine while Italians, and their portside culture, brought the stews still prepared in houses all over the country (from Lima to Tacna, and in the sierra, as in Andahuaylas). Peruvian cuisine is an endless talking point. So broad and generous, it is a cooking of seasoning and techniques, biodiversity and fresh ingredients a consequence of the greatest diversity of ecosystems found anywhere in one single country (84 out of 113 of the world’s catalogued ecosystems). Recipes from the high jungle are different from the Amazon plain’s; cooking in the north coast is in sharp contrast with the south’s powerful and marine cooking, both also different from Lima’s art of cooking, called “creole food”. And in the Andean mountains, forceful and vigorous plates are prepared with substantial foods such as quinoa, kiwicha, guinea pig and potato.
