From vineyards to arid coastal desert, surf beaches to rolling sand dunes, the area south of Lima is wild, contradictory, and fascinating. Jump a bus on the Pan-American Highway, which cuts a black ribbon of concrete south all the way to Chile and you'll see mile after mile of nothing but sand, cactus, and wind-torn brush clinging to the stark, rocky earth.
