Most gay travellers to Peru will enter the country from Lima and spend a few days here. It's an inexpensive city to base yourself and also an important transport hub in South America. We've been several times to Lima as part of our big trip around Latin America and loved it. On weekends, the gay bars and clubs are buzzing with local Peruvian gays (and their fans!) getting their groove on to the latest Latino beats. The gay scene of Lima is certainly exciting. That's statistically almost 1 million gay boys waiting to have a few Pisco sours with you. There are around 9 million people living here. Lima is also a pretty sweet base for gay travelers. Even venturing into a local market is a top foodie highlight in Lima such as the Festival Gastronomia every Sunday in the Plaza Municipal in Barranco. And we can't agree more! Lima is a melting pot of culinary creativity with a handful of world-famous top 50 restaurants including Central, Maido, and Astrid y Gastón. The “City of Kings” is the transport hub and capital city of Peru – also rated by many as THE foodie capital of South America. Lima – famous for its ceviche, Paddington Bear and the birth city of a very handsome chef (have you seen THAT video of Franco Noriega cooking in his boxers?!)…
