Where exactly is it?

Lima's antipode sits at 12.05°N, 102.96°E, in the northern hemisphere, east of Greenwich. That places it in or near the Indian Ocean.

It lies roughly 20,015 km from Lima — about as far apart as two points on Earth can possibly be. And the relationship is symmetric: the antipode of that spot is, of course, right back here in Lima.

What's actually there?

Lima's antipode is a rare one: it actually lands on solid ground, about 15 km from Phnom Samkos, a peak in Cambodia. Most cities don't get that lucky — antipodal land pairs are uncommon since water covers about 71% of the globe.
