The New York Times puts Lima - Peru on a list of tourist destinations to visit this 2020.

These are the reasons why the most emblematic newspaper in the United States added Lima in its annual list of places that a tourist should not miss.

A city with extraordinary food, a rich history and art, as defined by The New York Times, the most emblematic newspaper of the United States to Lima, to include it in its annual list of 52 destinations that every tourist should visit this 2020.

Lima to the world
The New York Times, one of the world`s most widely read newspapers, publishes this list annually, highlighting places to inspire, delight and motivate its readers to explore the world, explained the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Export and Tourism (Promperú ).

The reasons
The prestigious New York newspaper notes in its publication that `the Peruvian metropolis is a rich historical and cultural capital full of perfect images such as the Plaza Mayor, museums full of ancient treasures such as the Larco Museum and artisan mansions such as Daedalus. And new nonstop flights from the United States.


Also, The New York Times highlights that Lima today is possibly the culinary epicenter of South America, a city full of famous chefs and extravagant dishes of extraordinary food.

The publication refers that tourists who give the Peruvian capital a chance with their visit are rewarded not only with world-class restaurants.

`Tourists generally orbit the Miraflores neighborhood, with its neat shops like Morphology and the promenade along the cliff to ride a bike, not to mention restaurants like Maido and Central, both in the top 10 of the ranking of the 50 best restaurants in the world.`, mentions the newspaper.

It also refers to the fact that tourists can shop at local boutiques along Calle de los Conquistadores in San Isidro, as well as discover and explore a pre-Inca pyramid in districts such as Miraflores and San Isidro.

`Do not tarnish with the gray: Lima in 2020 shines brightly, `thus The New York Times invites tourists from around the world.


US tourists and economic impact
According to Promperú, the United States is the second country that brings more tourists to Peru, but the one that leaves more currencies for this item in our country. In 2018, we received 641,280 American tourists, which meant an increase of 7.1% over the previous year. This represented a 15% share of the total arrivals received.

Between January and November of last year, a total of 598,545 tourists arrived from that area of ??North America, which represented an increase of 3% over the same period of 2018.

For his part, Carlos Canales, president of the National Chamber of Tourism (Canatur), said that the American tourist spends approximately US $ 1,800 and an average stay of 11 days.

`We are the second country with the highest number of American tourists after Mexico. We are well connected with direct and indirect flights to more than 90 cities in the US, `` he said.

Promperú stressed that US tourists generate foreign currency for US $ 769 million.


`Lima today is possibly the culinary epicenter of South America, a city dotted with famous chefs and extravagant dishes of extraordinary food. This exciting scene serves as an antidote for what in the past prevented travelers from staying: gloomy skies, dilapidated corners, traffic jams and economic inequality.
But those who give the place a chance are rewarded not only with a world-class meal, but also with a rich historical and cultural capital full of perfect paintings such as the Plaza Mayor, museums full of ancient treasures such as the Larco Museum and artisan mansions. such as Dédalo Arte y Artesanía and the new nonstop flights from the United States and Latin America make it easier to get to Lima than ever.
Tourists generally orbit the neighborhood of Miraflores, with its neat shops like Morphology and the promenade along the cliff to ride a bike, not to mention restaurants like Maido and Central, both in the top 10 of the ranking of the 50 best restaurants in the world .
