The Playas del Norte area possesses a great natural beauty, one capable of embracing the spirit of the ocean, while it also has the proximity and connections to much of the history of the Peruvian civilization as embodied by the many archaeological ruins and recent discoveries located nearby. The project areas unique character is defined by the extraordinary coastline of the Pacific Ocean, which includes endless beaches and mature mangrove. Across the Pan American Highway, the dramatic inland topography rises up and continues to the mountains. While in close proximity to the capitol of Lima, plans are underway to expand the airport into an international facility that will be hub between North and South American, as well as regionally to the many attraction. The journey to this destination will be crafted to transport visitors and guests to a destination resort that is both respectful of the history and culture that made this place, yet clearly responsive to the needs of todays travelers.
