Lima is the capital and largest city of Peru, home to approximately 11 million residents in the metro area — making it one of the largest cities in the Americas and the most populous city in the Southern Hemisphere after São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Rio de Janeiro. It operates on Peru Time (PET, UTC-5), a fixed year-round offset. Lima sits in a narrow coastal desert between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes, and receives virtually no rainfall — making it one of the world's largest cities in an arid environment. Lima's Miraflores and Barranco districts perched on cliffs over the Pacific are some of South America's most upscale residential and dining areas. Peru's gastronomic revolution has made Lima one of the world's top culinary destinations — Central, Maido, and Astrid y Gastón restaurants have consistently placed in the World's 50 Best Restaurants. Machu Picchu, the Inca citadel and New Seven Wonders of the World, is a day trip from Cusco, accessible via Lima.
