Loved HCO so much I came back a month later after my first visit and stayed for a whole year. Learnt to surf, speak Spanish and made so many friends, a very welcoming place! Great food and a little market where you can buy most of what you need.

A wonderful 10-day stay in Peru. I went to Cusco where I was able to visit Machu Picchu, the Hill of Seven Colors, and many other pre-Hispanic sites. Then on to Nazca, and then Lima. I hope to have the chance to go back. However, be careful of altitude sickness.

Go to and stay at the most touristic places and avoid using your cellphone too much bc bad people on their motorcycles could steal you. Share your location with your friends and do not be afraid, enjoy the city !
Posted: February 25, 2026Lima is a very diverse city; you can find everything, all kinds of cultures from all regions, and it's a very touristy city. It's moderately safe. Like any Latin American country, there are risks. The risks are greater when you're carrying valuables on the street. And even more so if you're alone. It's best to take precautions when walking the streets of Lima. But the safest areas are Miraflores, Barranco, San Borja, San Isidro.
Posted: February 19, 2026It is very safe but when I booked a hostel I got the worse experience, the place didn’t look like the picture at all. Regarding the streets and sightseeing it was safe, even though the tour picked you up at 3 to 5 am. Restaurants and everything is safe. Just that experienced was bad and please always double check your stay and don’t stay if you don’t feel safe. Rather pay than stay in a low budget place.

During the daytime it is extremely safe, you can use your phone, walk around with your backpack on your back, and there are many tourist sites to walk to. This city has many activities to do and it is very easy to get a taxi (torito). Women can walk around in shorts and a t-shirt no problem and no cat calling.

I’m the kind of girl who smells like saltwater, drives like the wind, and dreams in colors no one has named yet. 🌈✨Practice Inca believe represented by the Inca flag 🏳️🌈 🌊 By day, you’ll find me chasing waves or riding my motorbike toward the sunset — wind in my hair, freedom stitched into my soul. ✌️ Some friends call me a hippie — barefoot at heart, always chasing good vibes, starry skies, and spontaneous adventures. 💻 And yes, I’m a digital nomad — working from beaches, cafés, mountaintops, or wherever the Wi-Fi (and my heart) takes me. 💼 But don’t be fooled: behind this sun-kissed smile is a sharp, strategic mind that knows how to close deals, lead meetings, and run a business like a boss. I’m incense and spreadsheets, barefoot and heels, meditation and negotiation. Under the suits? My tattoo tuxedo — a little inked reminder of the wild heart beneath the polished surface. 😉 A walking contradiction? Maybe. A balance of chaos and clarity? Definitely. A woman who lives fully, works fiercely, and wanders boldly? Always. I don’t fit into a box — I paint it, Ride over it, And turn it into art. 🎨
