Lima & Beyond

Peru’s capital and largest city, once South America’s most important colonial city, is an energetic oftentimes chaotic culmination of old and new. Uncover Lima’s colonial past in Old Town; visit the city's modern malls. Enjoy San Isidro and Miraflores, Lima’s most exclusive residential and commercial neighborhoods boasting some of the best bars, restaurants and clubs. Beyond the capital, Trujillo in coastal northwestern Peru makes a convenient base for discovering ancient sites. Or, fly over the mysterious Nazca Lines, to Paracas to laze on deserted beaches or retreat to nature on the Ballesta Islands or in Paracas National Reserve.
