Travel to Lima, Peru podcast episode!
Many people come to visit Peru for the majestic Machu Picchu, the colorful Rainbow Mountain, or even the vast Amazon Rainforest. But few people travel to Lima, Peru for the amazing culinary scene!
The capital city of Peru is not only the gateway to Peru with the largest airport, but it is well worth your time than just to fly into and out of. Instead, take some time to explore the city’s best markets, learn the art of making ceviches and pisco sours, and perhaps dive into the brewery scene.
In this podcast episode, we’re exploring all of the amazing things to do in Lima, Peru in just a day!
