Lima, Peru Cruises

Lima, Peru Cruise Port

Lima, which is situated in the valleys of the Chillion, Rimac and Lurin Rivers overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is the capital and largest city of Peru. Located near the seaport of Callao, this populous area is one of the five largest cities in the Americas and the most populated metropolitan area of Peru. The subtropical climate and close proximity to the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean create a mild desert like climate where is it neither cold nor very hot, but rather perfect for cruising to Lima and exploring all that this popular city has to offer. Taste the local flavor as you dine on delectable Peruvian cuisine which offers a wide variety of flavors from the coast, mountains and Amazon regions. When cruising to Lima, an absolute must is the fresh ceviche, a mouthwatering local dish made of raw fish, hot chili peppers and onions marinated and soaking in lime juice. Featured below are a few of our favorite experiences for the cruise port of Lima, Peru:

• Stroll along El Malecom, a 6 mile stretch of green parks known as the “Garden City” and situated on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. El Malecon is perfect for jogging, biking or taking in the spectacular view.
   
• Built into the cliffside, Larcomar is a beautiful upscale multi-level shopping, entertaining and dining mega complex with breathtaking views of the ocean. Larcomar offers both local Peruvian flare along with American touches in both the shopping and dining.
