I just returned from an amazing city tour in Lima with my family, and I can't stop recommending Terra Quechua Peru travel agency. We visited the Plaza Mayor, where we admired the Cathedral and the Go… Full review by Alessia S

Does anyone have advice on which part of Miraflores is best to live in? I’ll be moving there in June and am wondering if it’s better to be near John F. Kennedy Park, which seems very bustling, or if it’s better to be out a bit. I like having restaurants, cafes, gyms etc. in walking distance, but I also like the idea of being near the water and a green area. My budget is $1100.

The area around Parque Kennedy is indeed "bustling" (if that is what you're looking for), but it's a little too commercial and traffic-bound for my tastes. I agree that Miraflores is the most inviting of residential areas, but I would look a little further south in the triangle that forms the core of Miraflores. The area below San Martin to the ocean and between Malecon Balta (on the west) and Avenida La Paz (on the east) is especially nice. Don't know the cost, but it sure looks expensive. Good luck!
What area would you recommend to stay if you wanted to see the real Lima? I'm not too excited about a Miami look either Let me know Thanks MArtin

You are from Seattle. I live in Seattle and I'm Peruvian living decades in Lima. With that in mind, be sure when I'm saying that the capital of Peru isn't like Miami's touristic waterfront (if that is what do you mean). When you say Lima, you are talking about the biggest city in Peru. If you mean Lima Square, called "El Centro de Lima", I suggested you to pay a tour visit to this area but stay in other districts. Miraflores and Barranco districts will serve you well but if you are on a budget, said so to suggest other places. You might need to clarify what "the real Lima" means to you to guided you better. Count with a trusted local to avoid the murky waters of certain parts of Lima Square is a must if that is what you are attempting. I'm an adventures person being everywhere in Lima long ago on my young years. Now, I won't do it without the right backup. So, you let me know what are you after to try to help you!
