Discover the verdant gardens of Lima and savour the tantalising flavours of local Peruvian cuisine. Capture the essence of Lima's flora before heading to one of the city's most respected restaurants to enjoy an authentic Peruvian meal.
- Start your date in the morning by taking a stroll around Lima's beautiful 'Parque de la Reserva', where you can appreciate the beauty of the local flora. After soaking up nature, head to La Mar, where you can enjoy the city's best ceviche.
- After lunch, continue to 'El Malecรณn', a clifftop boardwalk offering scenic views of the ocean and the city. Finish off the evening at Cala, a waterfront restaurant famed for its innovative Peruvian dishes and stunning sunset views.
- And if you're still feeling spry after dinner, make your way to 'Barranco', a district renowned for its bohemian atmosphere. Here you'll find charming bars where you can finish the night sipping a Pisco Sour, Peru's national drink.
Preparation steps:
- First and foremost, make sure to check the weather forecast before planning your day. Even though it rarely rains in Lima in September, it's always better to be prepared.
- Make reservations at La Mar and Cala at least a week in advance. These places are popular, so it's better not to leave it to chance. Also, remember to inform the restaurants of any dietary restrictions.
- Wear comfortable clothes and shoes for walking, as you'll be exploring different places throughout the day. Don't forget to bring a camera to capture the memories of this romantic date.

Some tips:
- Keep in mind that you'll be spending a good part of the day outdoors. Even though Lima is known as the 'Grey City' due to its overcast skies, the sun can still be strong, so don't forget your sunscreen.
- Remember to take it slow when eating and drinking, especially if you're not used to Peruvian food. It's flavourful and delicious, but it can also be quite rich and spicy.
- Lastly, taxis in Lima can be a bit tricky. Negotiate the fare before getting in to avoid being overcharged. Even better, if your budget allows, consider hiring a private driver for the day to avoid any hassle.
