 Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2009 6:50 pm Post subject: Lima .. best area to stay in for a good time |
 |
|
I will be staying in Lima for a few days and would like to know where is a good neighborhood to stay in that is close to alot (walking distance, or bike) of things.
I am not a recent graduate looking to just get drunk all of the time. I want a nice bohemian/artistic/ cheap kind of solution. I am very simple and easy to please. I just want to be located somewhere kind of cool. I have heard Miraflores has alot of hostels and Barranco has some too. However i am not a scared tourist who needs to be in a touristic stronghold for fear of venturing out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!  |

Miraflores is a popular spot. People on www.expatperu.com might be able to point you out to other places.
BUt I'd recommend that, or Surco. Lima's huge, so if you're in a far off area, unless you know the bus system, you'll have to take taxis all the time. |

| Your right, don't be scared. You will be when you get robbed the first time. God willing, it won't happen, but if it does learn from it. I did. |

Speaking of being robbed. DOn't carry lots of valuables. Use a fake wallet, with cardboard and a bit of cash. that way they can lift that one, and you'll keep your real one.
Still I carry no ID and only about 2 dollars when I go out. My most valuable thing is a paperback agenda and my cell. |

In all honesty, it happened the day before I posted that reponse to you. I realize my error. They didn't find my money, but my shorts were ripped apart. I just didn't appreciate the knife. They could have just threatened me and that would have been that. Just remember, "No tengo plata!" It worked for me anyway. |

| Just take the same precautions you should take everywhere and always look confident and purposeful as you are walking around. |
