The One Day series is intended to give you a quick overview of a city, with some quick suggestions with respect to meals, attractions, and activities. The Lima metropolitan area is the third largest city in the Americas (behind Sao Paolo and Mexico City, if you’re interested) and contains more inhabitants than New York City.
