Lima in €640s-€690s rtn

Why worry about winter blues when you can have a second summer instead?

Hikers should head to Colca Canyon (deeper than the Grand Canyon!) for views just as impressive as Machu Picchu, and with fewer crowds :-)

And surfers should make a beeline to Costa Verde for sunset waves that rival Hawaii's Sunset Beach. Or swap the board for a boat, and head to the Palomino Islands to swim with some furry locals.

Just don't go looking for any “white gold”. You've been warned...
