Fare Magazine 08 Lima

Perched high above the Pacific Ocean, Lima is the bridge between Peru’s old and new, and a stunning showcase of biodiversity and multiculturalism. Hidden beneath the eternal fog of Peru’s coastal cliffs sits Lima, a shocking burst of color and flavor. The city and its food are a mirror of the country’s history, with deep indigenous roots from the Andes and the Amazon, waves of immigrants who have made their home in Peru, and a turbulent political past. In Lima, you’ll find markets spilling over with jungle fruits on one street, ancient ruins on another, and some of the world’s finest restaurants around the corner. Immigrant groups have created entirely new cuisines here, and chefs work to understand and preserve Peru’s culture and biodiversity through food.
