Cities in Peru

From the ground a city is always a fragment. From above the argument becomes legible: the grid or the tangle, the river that decided everything, the ring road drawn where a wall used to be.

Every city here pairs the aerial view with photographs, video and a written guide to how it grew, which districts differ and why, the landmarks worth the detour, and what to know before going.

9 Cities in Peru, each with aerial views, photos, videos and an in-depth guide.
