Oh Lima how I miss you! Of the places that I have seen and been Lima is nost deffinately the heart and soul of my travels.

Its a beautiful city with so much to offer. If you are travelling as a tourist, back pack and sandles in tow be sure to stay in the western side of the city around Miraflores. It is a beautiful part of the ccity probably the most and best developed. There are countless amounts of hostels, lively strips of bars and restuarants, local and national bands play often and there is always a friendly face from a different corner of the world.

Try messas hosel avwnida bolivia, mama messa is great, welcoming and trests everyone as her own, a real home from home. Although be warned her reputationis fastly spreading across the seas so book inn early.

San Miguel is also another hotspot, great in the daytime however be careful at night the area isnt as full of traveller as Miraflores and that you will notic when walking around.

A must in Ancon, go in the summer (there december to april) althouh the sea is full of body to body people. There is so much to do, also events and concerts, a grea surf and fresh fish caught daily for you to enjoy.Ancon has a real sense of community and friendly atmosphere. you can take a bus for 1/2 soles maz its about 30min from the city centre.

Be safe, never carry baggage and only take small amounts of cash with you.

    Welcome to Ciao. I stayed in Miraflores (alas, only for a couple of nights) last autumn and liked it; a lot of interesting stuff in the old centre too, which you might have given more attention to.
