  1. here  u got  some sites :

  2. First, bring summer clothes, 'cause it's still HOT in Lima during the day, although it's already colling down a little at night (nothing a thin jacket can't cope with). Also, beware of the sun, you might have seen sun like this in the US, but bear in mind you are closer to the equator and the sun's rays are stronger here, so if you are not carefull you'll get a major SUNBURN.

    Second. Peruvian food is awesome, but if you're not used to spices (I mean all spices, not just chilli and other hot stuff), it might be hard on your stomach. Take it ieasy at first to give your system time to get used to it.

    Third. Peruvian partying starts late and ends late. People will show up at the club around midnight or 1 am and party til 8 or 9 am.

    Fourth. Try the Pisco Sour, but be carefull, it is desceitful. It has a lot of sugar so you wont feel the puch, but the pisco is 40° proof, so go slow on the pisco sour drinking.

    Fifth. try the Inca Kola. It is a yellow soda with a bubble gum taste. Kindda an aquired taste.

    Sixth: Try a Chifa (Titi, Chifa Internacional, Wa Lok) Chifa is cantonese food peruvian style. Chinese have been in Peru for about 1.5 to 2 centuries and their cooking has fused with Peruvian cooking. Actually a typical peruvian dish is stir fried beef (Called "lomo saltado").

    Seventh: Go to the beach. If you can make it to the beach called "ASIA" (about 97 kms south of Lima) do it. It is were everyone is during the summer.

    Eigth: Hang out at "Larco Mar", maybe have lunch there. The view is worth the visit.

    Ninth: I know it is hot, but try visiting the old city (downtown). The palace of government, the cathedral, the Church of San Francisco. If you happen to have lunch there, try the T'anta.

    Tenth: Visit the Huaca Pucllana (an old holly place from before the Incas). You could eat at the "La Huaca" Restaurant that overlooks the huaca.

    Eleventh: If you have time, Visit the Sanctuary of Pachacamac. The most holy place in Inca and Pre inca times other than the Coricancha in Cuzco.

    Finally: There is always Cuzco and Machu Picchu, about 1,000 kms south of Lima and Sipan and the Royal tombs of Sipan about 600 kms north of Lima.

    As for web sites, I'm enclosing a few

  3. Go to Metro and buy their fresh squeezed orange juice! AMAZING! And try their pizza bread. Haha, best thing in the world! It's all fresh at their bakery. Walk around, and check out everything. It's pretty fascinating. It's sad too because there's little kids begging for money.

    I haven't been there in almost 4 years, but it's definitely a trip of a lifetime.

  4. Most of the sites  don't  tell you everything. If you want to  so monuments or temples, you will have to go to the Centro de Lima . If you want to  dance and get some fun go to Larco, Barranco. In Barranco you will  many good discotheques. If you go to Miraflores is  a good place, but La calle de la pizzas (Pizza's Street) is not  pretty good.  If you want to get fun, go to Barranco, Larcomar and Asia. Asia is in the South  of Lima. It's an amazing place  for the beaches, discotheques, and everything. Something else, When you are in Lima do not trust anyone, there are many thieves. Even though is my city, I have to say that many tourists get robe.
