1 Arrive Lima, Peru

Peru’s coastal capital is an elegant laid-back city where surf, ceviche and pisco sours are only the beginning. With 80 miles of coastline and virtually no rain, Lima is spritzed in salt and soaked in sunshine. Its 18th-century haciendas, baroque stonework and colonial architecture are upstaged by the country’s pre-Columbian history on display at museums like Pueblo Libre’s Larco. Surfboards are strapped to mopeds that dip between the mansions of Miraflores, while pisco sours are shaken to the beat of peñas in Barranco.
