Peru truly is home to some of the most beautiful natural wonders in the world, and visiting Machu Picchu is barely scratching the surface. There’s also a lot to do in Peru’s cities, particularly in the country’s capital, Lima. Here are some of the activities you simply cannot miss.
Surf Herradura
If you love to surf, swing by Chorrillos. Here, you can experience one of the best left-hand point breaks in the Americas and enjoy what may just be the surf of a lifetime.
Check Out The Catacombs
If you have an thing for the Gothic, you may want to check out the burial site beneath Lima’s Convent. The burial ground came into existence in 1808 and 25,000 bodies currently rest there.
Swim With Sea Lions
You can take a boat from Lima to Palomino Island. There is a wide array of wildlife here, but the best has got to be the baby sea lions, who you can take a swim with.
Parque Kennedy
Parque Kennedy contains hundreds of cats and hundreds of people to watch while you enjoy picarones. Each night, you can enjoy art exhibits and dancing.
Peruvian Nightlife
Going out in Peru is a unique experience. Instead of sticking to the hostel bar, visit a Peña. These are music venues where you can enjoy traditional live Peruvian music. Sometimes they are hosted in bars, sometimes in someone’s backyard.
