Perhaps the first step towards your next adventure is to <strong>take out your suitcases and backpacks<\/strong> on New Year\u2019s Eve and run with them as <strong>the clock strikes midnight and welcomes 1 January<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people do this as a superstition. For years, I\u2019ve watched several of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infobae.com\/peru\/2024\/12\/26\/ano-nuevo-2024-lo-que-significa-la-tradicion-de-dar-la-vuelta-a-la-manzana-con-maletas-en-el-peru\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">neighbours dash out of their houses with luggage<\/a> in hand, hoping <strong>their travel dreams will come true<\/strong>. At least, that\u2019s what they say when they return home out of breath after running around the block. And this is just one ritual among many. <strong>There are plenty more<\/strong>, as many as the paths that <strong>await us in 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From cleansing flower baths to<strong> eating 12 grapes<\/strong>, from wearing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infobae.com\/peru\/2024\/12\/28\/colores-de-ano-nuevo-2025-que-significa-elegir-amarillo-rojo-verde-blanco-o-azul-para-recibir-el-nuevo-ano\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">yellow clothes for joy<\/a>, red for love and green for hope. Those who want to become wealthy \u2014 or at least hope not to run out of soles (the national currency) \u2014 <strong>slip a handful of lentils into their pockets<\/strong>. <strong>Ceremonies with coca leaves<\/strong> are also performed, especially in the Andean region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"992\" height=\"744\" src=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Prendasdecolores-1.webp\" alt=\"Captura: Infobae\" class=\"wp-image-3211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Prendasdecolores-1.webp 992w, https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Prendasdecolores-1-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Prendasdecolores-1-768x576.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are even more New Year superstitions. Some people<strong> hide under the table<\/strong> to attract good luck. Others burn effigies made from old belongings \u2014 a practice that is no longer well regarded because of the pollution it causes \u2014 or <strong>smash a pi\u00f1ata with enthusiasm<\/strong>. The pi\u00f1ata usually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infobae.com\/peru\/2024\/12\/25\/pinatas-de-dina-boluarte-son-la-mas-vendidas-por-ano-nuevo-destrono-a-keiko-con-su-frase-de-los-10-solcitos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">represents a politician<\/a>, a footballer who missed a crucial moment, or any <strong>other character who has earned popular dislike<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you ask me about my own rituals, I\u2019d say none of the above. I\u2019m happy with the hugs, the midnight toast and the good wishes shared as the new year begins. <strong>I don\u2019t run out with a backpack, but I do cheer on those who do.<\/strong> After all, it\u2019s a tradition \u2014 one that seems to have <strong>its roots in Latin America<\/strong> and is especially <strong>popular in Mexico, Colombia and Peru<\/strong>, including the neighbourhoods where I\u2019ve lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lima is waiting for you<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20220204_180755.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20220204_180755.webp 770w, https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20220204_180755-300x224.webp 300w, https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20220204_180755-768x575.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, this year I won\u2019t be running with a backpack on my shoulders or dragging a suitcase behind me either (it would be hypocritical to carry one, since I never use them). I trust that simply <strong>wishing myself plenty of travel while raising<\/strong> a glass will be enough. So far, that formula has worked for me. I travel \u2014 sometimes more, sometimes less \u2014 to <a href=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourcusco.org\/en\/machu-picchu-visit-the-inca-llaqta-in-record-time\/\">well-known destinations<\/a> and to places that are still, from a tourism point of view, <a href=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/en\/lima-oyon-a-land-of-lagoons-and-mountains\/\">largely undiscovered<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you weren\u2019t aware of this superstition but find it interesting or fun, and if you believe that everything helps when you\u2019re on the threshold of a great adventure, <strong>give it a try in the first minutes of 2026<\/strong>. And if your wandering plans include Lima and Peru, you already know that here \u2014 and at <a href=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourcusco.org\/en\">Free Walking Tour Cusco<\/a> \u2014 you\u2019ll find travel stories and practical tourist information to <strong>help you sketch out your itineraries.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/en\/lima-welcome-to-a-destination-that-will-truly-surprise-you\/\">Come to Lima<\/a>, the capital that is waiting to show you that <strong>it\u2019s far more than just a stopover<\/strong>. It\u2019s an ancient and modern destination, with pre-Hispanic cities and temples alongside contemporary architecture. <strong>It\u2019s a city that preserves its faith and traditions<\/strong>, while opening itself to other beliefs and cultural expressions. It\u2019s a coastal metropolis that has become <strong>a true melting pot of Andean and Amazonian influences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"777\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Imagen-de-WhatsApp-2025-12-11-a-las-07.41.39_b72a7f64.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Imagen-de-WhatsApp-2025-12-11-a-las-07.41.39_b72a7f64.webp 777w, https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Imagen-de-WhatsApp-2025-12-11-a-las-07.41.39_b72a7f64-300x222.webp 300w, https:\/\/freewalkingtourslima.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Imagen-de-WhatsApp-2025-12-11-a-las-07.41.39_b72a7f64-768x569.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cCity of Kings\u201d, <strong>founded on 18 January 1535<\/strong> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biografiasyvidas.com\/biografia\/p\/pizarro_francisco.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Francisco Pizarro<\/a> \u2014 who at the time held the title of Governor of New Castile \u2014 has, for more than half a century, been a reflection of the entire country. <strong>Men and women from every corner of Peru have settled here<\/strong>, enriching traditions and colouring Lima\u2019s districts, plains and hillsides with the vibrant tones of multicultural life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Don\u2019t worry if big cities feel overwhelming<\/strong>.
