💰 How far does your money go?
A proper plate of ceviche at a Lima cevichería costs around €11, about what you'd pay for a ración of calamares in the centre of Madrid. A local beer is roughly €4, and a cappuccino about €2.50. A taxi across town runs €3 to €5, roughly the price of a caña on a Madrid terrace.
☀️ The Weather
February is Lima's peak summer, with highs around 24°C, clear skies and the Pacific at about 22°C. March and April stay warm and dry, ideal for the beach and the clifftop Malecón. By May it cools to around 20°C, and June brings highs near 19°C and the grey coastal mist Limeños call garúa. It almost never rains.

This time, base yourself in Barranco: Lima's bohemian, walkable seaside district.
