Where to Stay in Lima, Peru


Have you just bought your flight ticket to Peru? If yes, you're a lucky person! Peru is one of the countries you will never forget. Now, that your trip is coming closer, you'd probably want to know where to spend your first day days. Since I suppose, you will be flying into Lima first, I'd like you to present the best areas to stay in a city of almost 10 million inhabitants. Here we go. 

Lima has a good range of accommodation with each district offering something different. Btw, did you know that Lima has 43 districts? However, two districts impressed us the most - Miraflores and Barranco. With spending a few nights at each district, we can definitely tell, that these are the best areas to stay in the Peruvian city. 

District Miraflores

The Miraflores district is located at the nice coastline of Lima. With its amazing location, it attracts many of travellers throughout the year but also many locals at the weekend. Furthermore, the district appeared to be very safe, hence I see it as a perfect location also for solo female travellers.

The most fascinating about Miraflores apart from its location is the tranquil vibe, the mild climate and the beautiful and fragrant gardens.

The district is full of restaurants, cafes, pubs, shops and hotels. It is a popular area among sportspeople, providing outdoor fitness equipment and running trails along the coast.

While there, go for a early morning run or walk along the coast and soap up the views of the cliffs and the Pacific ocean. To top your Lima adventure, rent a surf and ride the waves! For that, you will have to descend to the beach and find one of many rental houses along the coast.

In Peru, we travelled on a budget, that is why the hostel Backpackers Family House met our expectations. The hostel comes with a price of 17 USD per night for a double bedroom. Its location is perfect, just about 5 minutes walk to the promenade at the Miraflores coastline. Check out their website! You can book your stay also via www.hostels.com.

District Barranco

Barranco is not less attractive and less safe than Miraflores. While the latter is famous for its lovely gardens and calmness, Barranco has its lively vibe. The district with its numerous restaurants, bars and pubs is a great place if you're looking for some fun night outs. But don't think it is just a loud party district. In contrast, Barranco has some lovely gardens and a beautiful coastline path.

The district appears to be very charming with its small colourful buildings and comes with an romantic touch. Barranco is considered to be the city's most bohemian district, with lots of hand-crafted shops and cute little fairs, where you can find many bohemian and vintage clothes, nice jewellery and tasty organic products.

Our budget choice was the Barranco's Backpackers Inn. It is simple but has soul. The hostel charges you 17.5 USD per night in a superior twin private room. The hostel is 500 metres away from the Pacific ocean. It is 25 minutes drive to the airport and it will cost you approx. 19 USD. Visit their website here. As an alternative, you can look for a great Airbnb base and with my credit of 19 CHF book your stay with a discount. Just go on this website, sign up and book your stay: http://goo.gl/VTY5oj

I'm glad we spent some time in Lima. Honestly, I thought it will be a sad grey city. But choosing these two beautiful districts, it was the contrary. If you fly in and out of Lima, I'd suggest to stay 2 days in Miraflores first and at the end of your Peru trip, spend a night or two at Barranco. Enjoy as much as you can and tell me your experience afterwards!

    I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

    Merit Glitters (Friday, 05 January 2024 22:53)

    Do not invest in any trading platform, there is nothing such as get rich quick, it doesn't always end well. I was also a victim to this kind of scam. An Asian girl introduced me to ibitminers and i got really deep into their shit and all i can say is these scammers are good at what they do. I was allowed to withdraw a little amount which i believed was to build my trust but they sucked me dried and i never got my capital after all was said and done. I lost a ton of asset and when i reported to local authorities i was told since crypto is untraceable, there is nothing they can do about it. I couldn't get any help from them until i contracted the service of a professional ethical hacker. He hacked into the eth wallet address i made payment to and retrieved my stolen crypto and he showed me the transaction history of these scammers, I was in shock.

    A revolution in banking has been brought about by the digital era, with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin taking center stage. But there are also risks associated with this emerging field, the most frightening of which being the possibility of losing digital assets. This is when Osecybersailing and it's team steps in like a shining knight, equipped with the formidable weapon of Bitcoin recovery. My valuable Bitcoin was stolen via a technical error, leaving me hopeless. My dreams were almost dashed by the cold reality of irreversible blockchain transactions. However, there was a ray of hope that emerged from the shadows when I came across Osecybersailing and it's team. Equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and years of experience, their team of professionals painstakingly navigated the blockchain maze, following even the smallest digital traces of my misplaced funds. The fact that my Bitcoin appeared, safe and sound, back in my wallet in a very short amount of time was a credit to their commitment and competence. It restored my faith in the security and reliability of the crypto ecosystem. But my testimony is more than just a celebration of Osecybersailing technical abilities. It also serves as a rallying cry for ethical cryptocurrency stewardship.
    If you find yourself lost in the depths of lost Bitcoin, facebook Account and Whatsapp hacking to check if your partner is cheating, then let Osecybersailing and it's team guide you towards the light of redemption.
