Local knowledge for Lima

Where to stay

Most budget hostels cluster around Parque Kennedy in Miraflores, within walking distance of the Malecón cliffs and Av. Larco's restaurants. Barranco, two Metropolitano stops south at Estación Bulevar, runs cheaper on average and has a denser hostel scene around Av. Pedro de Osma.

Getting around

  • Mercado de Surquillo No. 1, just off Av. Angamos Este, has full ceviche lunches for a handful of soles. Go between noon and 2 pm when the stalls are freshest.
  • The Metropolitano BRT card costs a few soles to buy at any station kiosk. It is the fastest and safest corridor from downtown Lima to Miraflores or Barranco, no taxi negotiation needed.
  • Use ATMs inside supermarkets such as Wong on Av. Larco or Vivanda on Av. Benavides rather than standalone street machines. Skimming devices appear regularly on Lima's outdoor ATMs.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest from June through September when Lima sits under the garúa, a coastal fog that keeps the city gray and cool. Prices rise December through March when the sun returns and domestic travel picks up.
