Everything you need to know before traveling to Lima

Nov 8, 2023 • 7 min read

It pays to time it right when planning a trip to Lima © Mark Green / Shutterstock

Fronting onto a rugged stretch of shoreline, Lima is often used as a stepping stone to reach bucket-list sites such as Machu Picchu , but the capital of Peru has become a destination in its own right.

This bustling city more than makes up for its chaotic traffic and humdrum weather with out-of-this-world cuisine, dramatic coastal views and outstanding museums.

We'd say the capital of Peru has a lot going for it — an almost overwhelming amount. To help you make the most of your trip to the City of Kings (and simplify your trip planning) here are a few useful things to know before traveling to Lima. 

Lima is one of the less well-known cities in the Americas, so it helps to know what to expect. Here are some tips for planning a trip.

1. Be prepared for gray skies

This is a heads up for those who suffer from seasonal mood swings in drab weather – don't assume this coastal Latin American capital is the land of sunshine.

For every month of the year outside of Peru’s summer season (January to March), the skies over Lima are consistently gray. This can be a huge disappointment for unsuspecting visitors – and can wear down even those prepared for this quirk of the Lima weather.

Keep this in mind when planning the timing of a trip to Lima . On the plus side, the Peruvian capital is dry nearly all year round and you can stay active on the malecón (waterfront esplanade) to keep your energy levels and mood up.

If you are in dire need of Vitamin D, consider a day trip down south to Pachacamac or a weekend trip to Reserva Nacional de Paracas where the sun is more likely to make an appearance.

2. Download a rideshare app for easy trips around Lima

Lima sprawls over numerous widely-spread districts, so you may spend a good chunk of time commuting. Though there are a handful of cheap and accessible ways to get around Lima, your best bet is to rely on a respectable rideshare app such as Uber or Cabify .

Even if you have a decent level of Spanish or are traveling in a group, the risk of theft or getting scammed when taking an unmarked taxi off the street in Lima is not worth the few soles (Peru’s official currency) difference in price.

3. Base yourself in a district that suits your interests in Lima

There are so many great neighborhoods in Lima , each with its own unique personality and attributes, and with the sprawling nature of the city, it pays to stay close to the things you want to see.

Do a bit of research to discover the best neighborhood in Lima for you – some areas are better for people traveling with children, while others appeal to travelers looking to keep to a budget or those seeking a taste of local nightlife.

Most tourists stay in the hip district of Barranco or centrally-located Miraflores, and for good reason. But less-visited districts such as Pueblo Libre or Magdalena del Mar can also woo you with their top museums and authentic vibe.

4. Consider distance and traffic when organizing your day-to-day itinerary

Sprawling across more than 1000 sq miles, Lima is the largest city in Peru and one of the five most populous cities in South America. While many of the most touristed districts are close neighbors, some of the best things to do and see in Lima are on opposite sides of the city.

Don’t waste a chunk of your visit to Lima commuting. Instead, invest a bit of pre-travel time in mapping out what each district has to offer, so you can plan your days based on activities and sights that are close to one another.

For example, it's a good idea to pair gallery visits in Barranco with lunch or dinner in a Miraflores restaurant or a trip to Pueblo Libre’s incredibly thorough and informative Museo Larco with a drink at the same district’s famed Queirolo pisco bar.

5. Don’t haggle excessively and keep cash handy

Speaking of respect for local culture, let’s talk about haggling. Many tour agencies encourage travelers to bargain for better prices, reassuring them that it is simply part of the Peruvian culture.

However, while it is common in Lima markets to see vendors and buyers discussing a better price, there is a point where arguing hard for a cheaper price becomes disrespectful.

Many of the artisans in Lima come from the highlands or tropical lowlands – distant regions where it is difficult to earn a steady income and the quality of life is much lower than in the cities and most countries tourists come from.

Unless you can be sure that the vendor is charging an extortionate amount, consider settling for a slightly higher than the locals price to help support local families.

Also keep in mind that many small businesses, as well as independent artisans, will only accept cash and they may not have change, so carry plenty of small bills.

6. Learn a few basic Spanish words and phrases for easier travels

A quick search on Facebook will turn up links to numerous groups of English-speaking expats who fell in love with Peru and set up a base in Lima, but the vast majority of locals do not speak fluent English.

Thankfully, rideshare apps do away with the need to give detailed directions to taxi drivers, and purchases in markets can often be negotiated with just some creative gesturing.

However, to fit in, and reduce the chances of being scammed, learning a few phrases in Spanish is a good way to express your respect for locals and be less of an outsider in this strongly Spanish-speaking city.

Many locals will give a passing greeting of qué tal (how are you?) or buen dia (good day), and doing so yourself will put a smile on people's faces.

Knowing your numbers is also helpful when it comes to paying a fair price – prices may be hiked for those who only speak English.

7. Trust your gut instinct when eating street food

Picarones (squash and sweet potato fried donuts), anticuchos (skewered beef heart), emoliente (a thick herbal drink served piping hot) – the list of tempting street food options in Lima goes on and on.

And while the foods served on the sidewalks of Lima provide a delicious, budget-friendly way to sample the flavors of Peru , your stomach may not be on board with the lax (sometimes non-existent) sanitary standards employed by street vendors. 

When choosing whether to eat from a street food stall, go with your instincts. Back home, you wouldn’t eat from a place that has more flies than customers, or from a cook who doesn't wash their hands or use gloves for food prep, so don’t risk it in Lima.

Another important rule of thumb for newcomers is to satiate your craving for ceviche in a proper restaurant; uncooked fish on the street is a fast track to a stomach bug.

8. Follow big-city safety precautions to avoid theft in Lima

Lima is a fairly safe destination for tourists when it comes to serious crime – but that doesn’t mean it's a good idea to walk around town at dusk with your camera or a shiny new phone on display. As with any large city, opportunistic crime, especially theft, is prevalent in Lima.

To avoid losing a precious valuable item, be street smart and aware of your immediate environment. Don’t leave your purse, bag or phone in the seat next to you while riding in a taxi or a public bus, and avoid walking around with your wallet on obvious display in your back pocket.

Phone snatching in the street is another problem. Don't be too shy to ask for directions or to use a paper map as opposed to carrying your phone in front of you as a digital map, especially in neighborhoods less frequented by tourists. 

9. Tips for staying safe as a solo woman in Lima

Lima is generally safe for female solo travelers. Be cautious (as, unfortunately, we always have to be) of eager offers of rides from drivers of unmarked taxis or free rounds of drinks at the bar, and avoid walking alone at night, particularly in quiet parts of town.

For safety in numbers, find a like-minded traveler from your hostel (or reach out to expat residents on Facebook groups) to join you on outings.

A food lover’s guide to Lima: What and where to eat on your next trip to Peru

by Go Ahead Tours team

Are you the type of traveler who puts food high on your list of must-dos? Do you enjoy seeking out the most memorable culinary experiences that a destination has to offer? Then you need to plan a trip to Lima , Peru’s capital and one of the planet’s premier foodie epicenters.

In recent years, Peruvian food has become incredibly popular. You may have already seen trendy Peruvian restaurants popping up in your hometown or other cities you’ve traveled to. But Lima remains the best place in the world to explore and savor the breadth and depth of Peruvian cuisine. We consider food among the most compelling reasons why you should travel to Lima . With its bustling markets, exciting street food, educational (and tasty) cooking classes, and award-winning restaurants, Lima has everything to satisfy a traveling gourmand. And our Peru tours are jam-packed with thrilling activities that will satiate every craving while giving you an insightful look at Peruvian food’s history, tradition, and flavors.

Fun Fact: Did you know that three restaurants on the prestigious World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024 list are in Lima? That should be reason enough to pack your bags—but before you go, here’s our mouthwatering guide to everything you need to know about Lima’s food scene.

What is Peruvian food?

You may have heard of (and tasted) ceviche, Peru’s national dish. It’s a refreshing, flavorful seafood staple beloved all over the world. It’s believed that the first ceviche was made in Peru about 2,000 years ago, when fish was marinated and lightly cooked in the juice of a tumbo, a type of passionfruit native to South America. On our Lima tours today, you’ll find countless iterations of the ceviche that reflects the vastness of the modern Peruvian kitchen. Cultures from all over have come to shape the way Peruvians cook and eat. The Andean, African, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and Latino communities in Peru have all contributed to the comida criolla, or creole food, that we know as Peruvian cuisine now.

Because of this immense diversity, it’s almost impossible to categorize Peruvian cuisine. There’s not one element or characteristic that is emblematically Peruvian. You’re just as likely to find seafood as you are meat, but there are also great veggie-forward dishes. (Did you know that there are 4,000 species of potatoes in Peru, and more than 50 varieties of corn?) The fruits of the country’s land and sea provide a fantastic foundation. And the many different cultures that have found themselves in Peru have added their own unique twists on what you can do with these ingredients. So, the best thing to do on a Lima tour is to have an adventurous palate, and try every fruit, vegetable, and dish that you come across. Because whether you’re on our brand-new Ecuador & Peru: The Galápagos, Cuzco & Machu Picchu tour or our Peru for Solo Travelers: Lima, Cuzco & Machu Picchu tour , food will play an important role in your experience.

What are some iconic Peruvian dishes you can try in Lima?

Our Ancient Peru & Machu Picchu tour starts in Lima, and right away, you’ll have the opportunity to sign up for an immersive dining experience that celebrates traditional Peruvian cuisine. You’ll get to learn about and dig into some of the country’s most important culinary staples. But we bet you’d want to come prepared, so here’s a quick rundown of Lima’s food and drink to know ahead of your trip. Note that these are just some of the most popular, but you’ll come across many more dishes that you’ll likely fall in love with on your trip to Peru .

• Lomo saltado. This hearty stir-fry mixes strips of beef sirloin with tomatoes, onions, and fries. It’s usually served with white rice, too, so it’s definitely fortifying. It’s one of the most common examples of chifa cuisine, or the fusion of Peruvian and Chinese culinary traditions that blossomed as a result of Chinese immigration to Peru in the 1800s.
• Ceviche. The simplest definition of ceviche is simply cubes of fish marinated in an acid, like lime juice. But depending on which Peru restaurant you go to and who is preparing it, a ceviche can take on many forms. At a Nikkei restaurant (Nikkei is the name for Japanese-Peruvian food), a ceviche might feature more traditional Japanese ingredients, like wasabi. On our Grand Tour of Peru: Machu Picchu to Lake Titicaca , you’ll get the chance to make your own ceviche during a cooking class in Lima.
• Causa. One of our favorite foods from Peru is causa, a type of casserole in which mashed potato is layered with veggies, seafood, and meat. Some may have eggs and avocado, while others might be spiked with spicy chilies.
• Anticucho. A popular street food, anticucho are skewered and grilled meats that have been enjoyed in Peru for centuries, way before the colonial period. Traditionally, the meat used are tender beef hearts, but today, you can find vendors all over Lima preparing anticucho with different cuts of various meat. On our Peru for Solo Travelers: Lima, Cuzco & Machu Picchu , there’s an optional street food excursion where you and your new travel friends can bond over trying anticucho.
• Cuy. In the Andes, cuy, or guinea pig, is a popular food source. And all over Peru, including in Lima, you’ll spot many cuyerias, or restaurants that specialize in serving all sorts of cuy preparations. Some are grilled, some are fried, and some are baked.
• Chaufa. Another example of Chinese-Peruvian cuisine is chaufa, a fried rice that combines bell peppers, soy sauce, egg, and any type of meat, which can be omitted if you’d prefer a vegetarian version.
• Pisco sour. You’ll need something to drink with all these delectable dishes. And in Peru, that means a pisco sour, the country’s national drink. It’s a tart cocktail featuring pisco, a brandy that hasn’t been aged. It’s said that the first pisco sour was invented in Lima in the 1920s. During the optional Traditional Peruvian Dinner in Lima on our Ecuador & Peru: The Galápagos, Cuzco & Machu Picchu tour , you can learn how to mix this iconic local drink.

Where to eat the best Peruvian cuisine in Lima?

Our Lima tours will give you plenty of opportunity to sample different foods from Peru. But when exploring on your own, here are some suggestions for where you can try to deepen your love affair with Peruvian cuisine.

• Central. A longstanding stalwart of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants lineup (holding the number one spot multiple times), chef Virgilio Martínez’s destination restaurant Central is such a draw that visitors to Lima book reservations months ahead of their trip. At Martínez’s Central restaurant in Lima, the tasting menu—which can feature nearly 20 different courses—is a journey through the massive Peruvian food universe. Expect to try it all, including species of potatoes you may have never heard of.
• Maido. The highest ranked Peruvian restaurant in 2024’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants, at number five, Maido celebrates the fullness of Nikkei cuisine. Here, you can find fantastic ceviche preparations as well as the most tender short rib dish you may ever try; it’s cooked for 50 hours.
• Al Toke Pez. Beloved as one of Lima’s best seafood and ceviche spots since opening in 2011, Al Toke Pez is a modest stop in an out-of-the-way location, but locals and visitors alike swear by the quality. Not only can you get great ceviche here, but you can also try tiradito (raw fish sliced into thin strips) and chicha morada (a sweet drink made from purple corn). If it’s traditional Peruvian food you’re after, you must add Al Toke Pez to your list of where to eat in Lima.
• La Mar. If you prefer a fine-dining take on the cevicheria experience, try to get a seat at La Mar, which is nothing short of a global icon. Its founder, chef Gastón Acurio, is largely considered the godfather of Peruvian food. And at La Mar, in Lima’s fancy Miraflores neighborhood, you’ll understand why: Open only for lunch to ensure freshness, La Mar serves the most creative takes on ceviche. You’ll have plenty to choose from, plus a few different twists on the pisco sour to make it the complete Peruvian food fantasy.
• Surquillo Market. Street food enthusiasts looking for an off-the-beaten-path food experience should explore the many stalls of Surquillo Market, where you’ll rub elbows with locals stocking up on the week’s groceries. You’ll find vendors selling every imaginable fruit and vegetable that grows in Peru. You may want to stock up on tropical treats to eat during your Peru tour . But there’s also an area dedicated to eateries serving classic Peruvian food, from causa to lomo saltado.

This Neighborhood in Lima Has the City's Best Food — Here's Where to Eat and Drink

On a recent trip to Lima, I ate every meal within a two-block radius in the trending Barranco neighborhood.

On a bluff overlooking the Pacific, Barranco , Lima, is perhaps the best place to eat in what’s arguably the best city for eating in the world. Just ask Juan Luis Martínez, the chef-owner of the award-winning Mérito. “A century ago this was a place to spend time during summer, walking down to the beach and up to the cliff, among the casonas — colonial houses with high ceilings and big porches,” Martínez told me. “Over the decades, it’s become the neighborhood of the poets, musicians, painters.” 

And chefs. I first encountered Martínez, and his culinary prowess, at his cafe, Demo, where shatteringly crisp guava-cheese pastry and a cold brew that was color-blocked with fresh-squeezed orange juice covered my table. When I saw him with his wife and business partner, designer Michelle Sikic, later that day, I asked: Did they come to Barranco a lot? Martínez sheepishly admitted, “We rarely go out to eat in another neighborhood.”

Who could blame them? Read on for my recommendations on eating your way around Barranco.

Sunset pisco sours are de rigueur at the ocean-view rooftop bar at this 20-key Relais & Châteaux property . The 1914 Belle Époque mansion makes a convenient base for exploring Barranco and has an excellent restaurant, serving dishes like a trout tartare with avocado mousse, quinoa, and trout skin.

On every trip, there’s that one cafe that makes you think, “If I lived here, I would be here twice a week.” In Lima, that’s the indoor-outdoor Demo , with its coffees crafted like cocktails, pastries, and Venezuelan corn cakes folded around blocks of oozing cheese.

Alanya Repostería 

This day-to-night dessert shop turns out maximalist croissants that are chocolate-dipped, injected with pistachio cream, and topped with meringue and brûléed marshmallow.

Pan Sal Aire 

Chef Jerónimo de Aliaga’s menu at Pan Sal Aire is a love letter to the Mediterranean. The garlicky head-on prawns bathed in chile butter are a standout, as are the Sardinian gnocchi and orecchiette with tomato, stracciatella, and basil vinegar.

In just five years, the restaurant of Venezuelan chef Juan Luis Martínez has gone from an obscure indie project to Food & Wine’s Best International Restaurant for 2024. The beautifully plated dishes, like white fish with yacon root and Andean cereals, manage to be both cerebral and exuberant.
