A summer escape to Peru’s beaches

January is one of the best times to enjoy Peru’s coastal destinations. Lima, the only South American capital with direct access to the ocean, offers a variety of options for all types of travelers, from relaxing beaches and surf spots to world-renowned seafood experiences. Just a short distance from the city, beaches like La Herradura and Punta Rocas are perfect getaways, with Punta Rocas also serving as a venue for various international sporting events.
Further south, in the region of Ica, several beaches become top seasonal favorites. One of the most popular destinations is the Paracas National Reserve, where travelers can explore one of only five red sand beaches in the world, relax at seaside resorts, enjoy boat tours, discover archaeological routes, and much more.
This is also the perfect moment to savor Peru’s famous seafood dishes. In addition to the iconic ceviche—prepared differently depending on the region—visitors can enjoy traditional plates such as arroz con mariscos, made with fresh shellfish and local chili peppers; choritos a la chalaca, mussels served in the shell with a spicy mix of onions, tomatoes, corn, chili peppers, and lime juice; and tiradito, thinly sliced raw fish accompanied by bold sauces like yellow chili or rocoto.
