April marks a pleasant transition in Lima, moving away from the intense summer heat towards milder, more comfortable conditions.

It's a wonderful time to discover the city's rich history, from the grand Plaza Mayor to the intricate architecture of the Larco Museum, as the climate becomes more forgiving.
