When it comes to romance, there is something in Peru for every kind of couple.
For many, in comparison to destinations like France, Italy, Greece and tropical islands, Peru might not be ranked among the most romantic countries in the world. However, when you consider the romance of Latin culture and the incredibly diverse and beautiful landscapes, Peru has everything a couple needs for a romantic getaway.
1. Go on the perfect date in Lima
Peru’s capital is booming and has everything in the way of nightlife and entertainment. In addition, Lima is considered the culinary capital of South America. With that in mind, a fun couple’s night out would definitely include dinner at one of the many gastronomic hot spots.
Some of Lima’s best include Central Restaurant, Maido, Rafael, Cala and Astrid y Gastón. With so many options for a delicious night out, every evening can be a date night in Lima.
There are also a lot of options for the perfect day-date in Lima. With so many museums and parks in Peru’s capital, it’s easy to get lost with your significant other and simply enjoy each other’s company.
Perhaps you’ll spend a day exploring Peru’s fascinating history at the Larco Museum and enjoy a delicious outdoor lunch at the Café del Museo. Or maybe you’ll pass some time touring the ancient Huaca Pucllana and sipping cocktails at the on-site restaurant while admiring the beauty of the Lima cityscape.
One thing you surely can’t miss on a visit to Lima is a trip to the malecón, a 10-kilometer (six-mile) stretch of parks overlooking the ocean. Parque del Amor on the malecón in Miraflores is the perfect place for couples to relax and watch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean.
2. Enjoy a couples retreat in the Andes Mountains
For couples seeking a break from the busyness of their day-to-day lives, there is no place quite like the Peruvian Andes. Between the Sacred Valley and the Colca Canyon, Peru should be your number one destination for relaxing and breathing fresh mountain air.
The Andes region around Cusco and Arequipa is known for its special energy and natural aura of peace and tranquility. With seemingly endless terraced landscapes, breathtaking mountain views and a complex history, the Peruvian Andes are an excellent destination for couples.
Imagine proposing to your significant other at Machu Picchu or riding on horseback through the Colca valley. The mountains are the best place for you to connect with nature as well as your better half. Besides, the nights can get a little chilly, which is all the more reason to cuddle.
3. Honeymoon on the northern beaches
When planning a honeymoon, beach destinations are usually the most popular options. But between Hawaii and the Caribbean islands, your mind probably doesn’t immediately go to Peru.
However, many Peruvians choose their country’s northern beaches as a wedding or honeymoon destination, and for good reason. The northern beaches of Peru, specifically those around Mancora, offer some of the best surfing waves in the world, as well as immense stretches of white sand and turquoise water.
Peru’s northern beaches are tropical paradises without the crowds. Moreover, when it comes to lodging, there are plenty of luxurious options for couples on their honeymoon or couples simply seeking a retreat at the beach. And let’s be honest, with a view of the ocean, sand between your toes and a pisco drink in hand, there is no way to go wrong.
When it comes to romance and that special connection between you and your partner, Peru has everything to make for an exciting getaway that will only bring you closer together. With the ideal blend of adventure, sightseeing, pristine beaches, incredible food and luxury options, every kind of couple will be sure to fall in love all over again in Peru.
