Cheap Flights to Lima

Lima is an underrated nomad destination with world-class food and solid infrastructure. Budget $1,000-1,500/month for a comfortable life. Furnished apartments in Miraflores (the main expat neighborhood) run $500-800/month. Barranco is the artsy, bohemian neighborhood with slightly lower rents and great nightlife. San Isidro is the business district — more upscale and corporate. US passport holders get 183 days visa-free in Peru — that's over 6 months, which is incredibly generous. No extension needed. Coworking is growing fast: Comunal (multiple locations), WeWork, and Regus are the main players. Smaller indie spaces are popping up in Barranco. The food scene is Lima's crown jewel — it's considered the culinary capital of South America. Ceviche, lomo saltado, and anticuchos at local restaurants cost $3-8. Fine dining at places like Central or Maido is world-class. A menu del dia (lunch set menu) at a local spot runs $2-3. Internet is decent (20-50 Mbps in most apartments). The Metropolitano bus and Metro rail cover key areas. Uber is everywhere and cheap. Lima's weather is unique — overcast from May to November (called garua), sunny December to April. Sea Point/Miraflores area has great coastal walks.
