The bus hums into life on the cliff above the Pacific, four metres of raised view putting you at eye level with the ocean breeze that dares you to look farther. From Larcomar’s terraces the city steps down in blocks and balconies: Miraflores parks, the pre-Inca rise of Huaca Pucllana, and the glitter of the Malecon where surfers read the wind.
