The Outskirts of Lima – What to visit outside Lima?
Lima has 44 districts from San Miguel (if you arrive via the LIM airport which is in fact within the province of Callao) to Pucusana to the south; to Ancon to the north; and to the east Lurigancho. We all call this area as “Lima Metropolitana”. Outside this perimeter, Lima has other 9 provinces, but we are still in the department of Lima (Peru has 24 departments or regions). The province of Callao, right next to Lima, has 7 districts. Lima and Callao are very integrated and can be considered as one city, but each one has its own city mayor and its own traffic rules, procedures and tax collections. We have posted several recommendations on what to visit in Lima and its musts in the minimum time. In this opportunity, we will send over our best suggestions to visit in the surroundings.
