24 Hours in Lima, Peru ⎮ 100% Worth It

This is the first vlog of our trip to Peru in September of 2019. Our first stop was Lima, the capital city of Peru. Lima is a massive metropolis with 9 million inhabitants and loads of history. If you thought Peru only had Machu Picchu then I think Lima will be a pleasant surprise.
Peru’s main airport is in Lima so there is a good chance you will have to decide whether to stay a day or two or go straight to connecting destinations ✈️

Many people decide to leave immediately, but I think having a day or two to explore Lima is worth it! I would recommend staying in Miraflores. It is about a 45 minute drive from the airport, but it is one of the nicest areas in Lima. A taxi or Uber should cost around $18 to $24 USD one way 🚕
There are plenty of restaurants, nightlife, shops and hotels in Miraflores. If you are looking for a cool traveler hostel I highly recommend trying out Selina. They have a great spot right in the heart of Miraflores. They offer private rooms with private bathrooms and various different dorm options. Another good area to stay at is Barranco. Barranco is the art district of Lima and it has a really cool environment. There are many good hotels, hostels and airbnb options in Barranco. Barranco and Miraflores are right next to each other so getting to each location is really easy 🌇

One of the greatest attractions in Lima is the gastronomy it offers. It is one of the leading cities in the world when it comes to fine dining. Some of the world’s top restaurants are located in Lima. Make sure you book far in advance as they fill up fast. However, pretty much all the food in Peru is delicious and not expensive. If you like seafood make sure you give Ceviche a try!
Uber is a great option to move around in Lima. It is not expensive and we always had good drivers. Generally speaking the people in Lima are very nice and willing to help tourists
Lastly, below is a list of places, restaurants and things to do while in Lima! Thanks so much for watching and make sure to subscribe for more content coming soon - The second vlog will be in Cusco

4. Check out Hangertips in Miraflores. It is the coolest shop for non-tacky souvenirs and dope clothing https://www.hangertips.com
5. Lima has a big surf scene. Selina offers surfing classes and board rentals
6. I would definitely take a tour of Barranco with a guide. We took ours through Airbnb with Jared. He is from Minnesota, but has lived in Lima for the past 5 years

7. Make sure you take a couple of hours to explore the center of Lima. Plaza de Armas is beautiful and if you go at noon you can see the changing of the guards at the President’s Palace. There are various free tours available. We got approached a few times for free walking tours while we were there
