The Andes are by no means the only region to visit in Peru. Also of great interest is Peru's narrow, lowland coastal region, a northern extension of the Atacama Desert. Although the Atacama is generally known as the most arid region on the planet, the climate along Peru's shores is made cooler and less dry by La Garuùa, a dense fog created by the collision of the frigid waters of the Humboldt Current with the heated sands of the Atacama. Lima, Trujillo, and Chiclayo, three of Peru's major population centres, are located along this coastal region.learn to paraglide peru

Lima is the capital of Peru, and it used to be the capital of the richest Spanish viceroyalty of South America. It is the most important city of the country and was first called "City of the Kings".. It is a political, economical and cultural centre.

Lima has brilliant sunshine from December to May, when humidity goes up to 70 percent. The year-round temperature is characterized by a spring-like mildness. From June to November Lima's physical atmosphere is slightly dreamlike the weather becomes cloudy and humidity reaches 90 percent mostly because of the La Garuùa; a mist that settles over the city between May and October.
