Nestled in the heart of South America, Peru is a mesmerizing blend of history, culture, and natural splendor. This treasure trove of profound adventures is famous for its diverse landscape, encompassed by the soaring peaks of the Andes Mountains, the lush depths of the Amazon Rainforest, and the stunning coastline along the Pacific Ocean. Drenched in a remarkable ancient heritage, Peru is iconic for its mysterious Incan citadel, Machu Picchu, arguably one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. The capital city, Lima, is a culinary hotspot offering a unique fusion of traditional and modern, featuring pre-Colombian temples alongside kinetic nightlife. Whether you're hiking through cloud forests, exploring the vibrant streets of Cusco, enjoying oceanic vistas, or savoring world-class Peruvian cuisine, that's just the beginning of the extraordinary Peruvian kaleidoscope.

It was my first time in Lima, and I can say I totally recommend it. On my first day in Lima I went to Plaza las Armas there was a lot of shops to buy anything you need on an affordable price, the main square is very cozy and chill you can walk around easily it connects to another smaller square around 3 or 4 blocks away. The coast of the city is absolutely beautiful and well maintained, there's a lot of parks with different tematics, I was mostly exploring Miraflores which is one of the most popular neighborhoods in there, I felt safe all the time, I walked around the beach and saw people surfing (there were surfing academies a long it), hotels and a lot of activities you can do, also went to the local market all with a guider from a place called Huarikebike, on this one you can visit those place around the neighborhood on bicycle while learning about the history of the city, also eat some of the local food which is 100% delicious the place is called Maraparte. 
I stayed near the Arena 1 (I went to a concert there) and the Malecones where the Panamerican youth games happened, I stayed in a room at an Airbnb 10 minutes away, with a lovely family the host name was Flor. 
The general price of the city is cheap to average and it's mostly safe, of course it's always better to be careful around it, as the locals recommended me there were some parts of the city on which is better to take an InDrive to move around, it's cheap and easy to use.
I'm hoping to go there one day again, there was so much left to see.
