After about an hour on the road, we’ll pass through Chosica — a town known as “The City of the Sun” due to its mostly sunny weather. Its bright skies are a stark contrast to the fog and gray clouds that often cover Lima, especially during the winter months. For this reason, many locals consider it the perfect escape from the cold and humidity of the city.
