Two day trips from Lima, due to long layovers flying Montevideo to Asuncion
Downtown Lima
El Beso in Parque del Amor
Islands off of Pachacamac, the final resting place of an Incan god. The islands look deceptively close from coast, but even with a lengthy drone flight, they still seemed pretty far out.

No visit would be right without some ceviche. I've had it before and thought it was pretty good. What we had here was just incredible though. Thinking about returning, this is what immediately comes to mind.
Alfajores, a dessert that we should've been familiar with, but weren't. Lots of different varieties. At a nice restaurant, you'll get it like this with soft shortbread cookies and dulce de leche.
Guards all over at Pachacamac
Peruvian Paso Horses. This show was kind of an add-on, as it was a weekend and it was close by to Pachacamac. Along with a nice lunch, it was pretty interesting, even as we're not really horse people. Horses featured prominently on the last couple of trips, to Mongolia and then throughout Central Asia, so it was interesting to see a very unique variation.
