CULTURE
Founded way back in the 15th century, Lima boasts culture in spades, from its colonial
catacombs and many museums to cool art galleries throughout the funky
barrio
(neigh-
borhood) of Barranco.
NIGHTLIFE
When the sun sets behind the Pacific, a million lights pop on in Lima. Time to enjoy a
little Latin nightlife. Start with a pisco sour or
chilcano
in a weathered bar or velvet
lounge. Then hit a club to shake it 'til the wee hours to
cumbia
, house, techno, Latin rock
or
reggaeton
.

HISTORY
Two crucially important pre-Inca civilizations once existed on the coast of southern Peru.
The Nazca left their mark in the famous geoglyphs etched into the desert landscape south
of Ica. The Paracas buried intricately decorated textiles in necropolises near Pisco.
