Solo travel experience

I spent a few days solo in Lima in January this year. I really enjoyed my time (stayed in Miraflores) and had no issues. Did a great walking tour, had some amazing food, and everyone was very friendly. I recommend sticking to the usual safety tips and not walking alone after dark.

Solo travel experience

Personally, I was not a fan of Lima. The traffic was terrible and I spent ages getting from one place to another (used Uber). The historic centre had some amazing buildings and it was worth spending a day there. I stayed in Miraflores. I felt safe walking around there but was careful at night.
