Oh, Adventure
Giant sand dunes, chiseled peaks and Pacific breaks a few heartbeats away from the capit-
al's rush-hour traffic: from downtown Lima to smack-dab nowhere, this vast country
translates to paradise for the active traveler. All the usual suspects - rafting, paragliding,
zip lines and bike trails - are present. But that doesn't mean your adventure has to be an
Olympic event. It could be spotting scarlet macaws and following big cat tracks in the
Amazon, watching the sun set over the dusty remnants of an ancient civilization, or join-
ing a holy pilgrimage to an Andean peak believed to be a god. Our advice? Don't rush.
Set out to do less than you think you should. Delays pop up. Festivals can swallow you
whole for days. And that's when you realize: the adventure is getting there.
