 | |  |  | Lima is not the safest place... | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
Lima is not the safest place to be, but you don't have to be paranoiac. I have been there several times and had zero problem. It is much, much better to have a hotel in Miraflores or San Isidro than downtown Lima. Anyway, there is nothing to do at night downtown except look at the beautiful yellow colour of the cathedral, so why would you stay there? Even during daytime, be careful downtown, especially if you look like a gringo. If you have a camera, try to stick with your friends. There are so many ways to steal a camera that you cannot imagine, especially in crowdy places. It is safer to use taxis instead of buses, especially at night. If you change your dollars on the street, you get slightly better rates than in banks, but you may get fake money. This happens to Peruvian too. Concerning food, it is very, very, very good. Restaurants are usually reliable. Eating on the street is at your own stomach risks. My wife (who is from Lima) never does it. I personnally never had problems with corruption. Leave a Comment
