While possessing some history, bustle and nifty landmarks on its own, Lima is best-served for backpackers as a scattering point to cheaper and lovelier parts of Peru.
For a relatively small country, Peru makes like a crash course on ecosystems. Mountainheads will triumphantly click their caribiners upon visiting Huaraz, about an eight-hour bus ride from Lima, which brims with trekking opportunities in the gorgeous Cordillera Blanca region of the Andes Mountains. Miles of arid desert will greet you during a four-hour bus ride from Lima to Ica, which becomes entirely more exciting when you’re attacking the monolithic sand foothills with the slightly crazed dune-buggy driver you hired in the sleepy nearby oasis town of Huacachina.
