We are flying Biz to EWR this month, and see that there are several lounges at Lima airport, but not sure which ones UA pax get to use.
Does anyone know, and also do you know if that lounge has showers? Flying in from a long day in Arequipa, so that will be handy.
Thanks in advance.

Many thanks ... hopefully a member has been there recently who can confirm it was SUMAQ as there are several it seems.
We are in Business first so assume that gains entry.

As CO pax flying LIM-EWR in 2011 we used the Sumaq lounge, which has showers. It has Inca Kola, but if you try to take one home, your bag may randomly be searched when you board the plane and your bottle may be thrown into a bin under the bag-search table where it will fall among lots of other people's bottles of Inca Kola.

Thanks ... have been to Peru several times and the LAST thing I'll be thinking of taking home is Inca Cola!
Bright yellow sodas are not for me.
True story - Coke and Pepsi spent endless millions in Peru trying to be the dominant soda brand.
But rhe Peruvians resisted very heavily.
So Coke quietly bought them out.

SUMAQ is given as first option. But since most international flights leave between 11pm-1am this lounge fills up quite fast (especially during weekends). There is an additional lounge directly next to SUMAQ called "VIP Club Lounge." It has almost all the same amenities, excluding the orange juice machine and showers (it even has its own outdoor smoker's area just like SUMAQ). This lounge is two stories and mostly less crowded than SUMAQ.
I would highly recommend you use SUMAQ, but if it is over capacity you will be directed to VIP Club Lounge next door.

I can confirm that there are showers in Sumaq - I had one there in Sept 2011.
I understand there have been some renovations since my visit. These photos are of the old lounge.
The best part is the Pisco Sour bar.
