Good to Know

KNOW

Coastal Traffic Buffer

Lima traffic can be unpredictable, especially between the Historic Center, Miraflores, and Barranco. Plan on taxis or rideshares and add 30-45 minutes for each neighborhood change so the day stays calm instead of rushed.

KNOW

Best Food Timing

For ceviche and seafood in Peru, earlier lunch is usually best; many places are freshest before mid-afternoon. If you want a more local feel, ask for the dish of the day or a classic menu criollo rather than overcomplicating the order.
