Cheap flights to Lima

A place of incredible architectural beauty, world-class cuisine and an indigenous history that sprawls millennia, all of this comes together to form a city that is unlike anywhere else on Earth. Lima is a place that also incorporates lush mountains and breath-taking Pacific beaches. As the capital of Peru, the onetime capital of the Spanish Empire in Latin America and the fifth largest modern city in South America, it is a wonderful blend of old and new.

The city was founded in the 16th century by Spanish conquistadors, but the area itself had been home to indigenous civilisations and local tribes for thousands of years, most significantly the Incas who had a nearby settlement, just outside of the modern-day city. Peru became officially independent from Spain in 1824 and for the 150 years after the country saw much political upheaval. Today however its capital city is Lima, a culturally diverse, economically stable and eternally fascinating city.
