Blue-plastic tents dot the landscape from the beach town of Cerro Azul, made famous in the Beach Boys song "Surfin' Safari," to the city of Ica, 160 miles south of Lima, the capital. Major landmarks that identify this part of Peru have been lost. Centuries old churches collapsed, museums in Pisco and Ica are now little more than debris. Even natural rock formations, including one known as the Cathedral popular among tourists, are gone, plunging into...
