This will be my first trip to Peru but I'm limited to 5 days due to work. I'm flying in and out of LIM and I'm looking for recommendations on where to go and what to see.

While in Lima, I'm booked at the Marriott near Larco Mar. Larco Mar, Miraflores and Barranco look like fun spots for nightlife - right?

Thinking about Huancayo, Ayacucho or Huanuco to get a taste of the Andes - any feedback? I definitely want to go to Cusco / Macchu Piccu but I suspect that I don't have enough time to do that and check out some other places.

In addition to the Andes/foothills, if I have time, I'd like to explore some of the coastal areas - it looks like Pisco and Nazca are close to Lima. Any feedback on those places? What about points north of Lima?

Any advice or recommendations?

Many thanks!!!
