Peru’s vibrant, bustling capital is perched on the edge of a clifftop, dramatically overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and sprawling inland for miles. Many travelers pass through the well-connected Jorge Chavez International airport, which provides a vital link for international and domestic flights. But if you’ve got the time, it’s worth lingering to take a bite of this colorful, cosmopolitan city, with many exciting Lima activities to offer.

Good Life Expeditions will introduce you to the real Lima. From the city’s historic sites and world-renowned gastronomic scene to the chance to meet and interact with locals, including communities that benefit from MEDLIFE projects. Contact us for more information.
