"Park yourself at a table on the wide terrace overlooking the city below."

"Take a peek at the 12-angled stone along your way; the Hatunrumiyoc Palace is built atop it, and legend has it that without it the palace would collapse."

"It’s hard to find a place to sit down for a drink near the ocean. Cala is an exception. Sits on a pebbled beach favored by surfers + has an outdoor terrace. Enjoy the views w/a pisco sour. [NYT]"

"For a cocktail close the sea, head to the bar at nearby La Rosa Naútica, an ornately decorated, old-school restaurant at the end of a long pier. [NYT]"

"Try plates like pulpo al olivo, arroz con mariscos, or parihuela, a rich seafood soup. If La Mar or El Mercado have long waits, walk here and you can usually sit right down. (Eater)"

"More corporate now than it used to be, but chicharrón, pavo(turkey) + other sanguches are consistently good. Pair w/a side of fries made w/native huayropotatoes + a glass of granadilla juice. (Eater)"
