Lima, the capital of
Peru, is situated on the west coast of the southern Pacific Ocean,
along the outlet of the Rímac River. Lima is full of fascinating
contrasts between traditional and modern influences. The traditional
influences evolved from Peru's history as the home of the Inca and
numerous other civilized cultures, dating back as far as 2000 BC.
Indigenous cultural traditions and languages still thrive today in
Peru.
However, Lima is not only a traditional
place, but has moved with the pace of modernity and now boasts strong
industries and contemporary technologies. Lima is known for its
interesting museums, colonial churches, vibrant cafe scene, striking
architecture and genuinely friendly people. In addition, it is the hub
of transport to Peru's endless natural treasures and archeological
gems. South of the Capital, long white beaches stretch along the
Pacific Ocean and are backed by white sand dunes. Lima's importance as
the capital city of Peru and its idyllic location along the southern
Pacific coast, provide an exceptional site for students to improve
their Spanish and learn about Peruvian culture.
