    Nice to hear it from you, as for myself, I´m spending about USD1,500 per month total, of which USD500 is rent (60 sq meter 1 BR appartment in San Borja district, nice neighborhood), maybe up to USD200 on gasoline (I do own a car), another USD200 dining out and nightlife - without going out too much, and the rest is on food and other miscellaneous stuff. I´m not considering any travelling, just my average daily in town living expenses.

    This is great content, very helpful. I lived in Peru 16 years ago as a missionary but I lived in the super ghetto parts. Now I have a wife and 3 kids and I want to move back. Someplace a little nicer this time haha. So this was very helpful. Subscribed

    Brother if you would go outside of Miraflores to eat you would spend less than a 3rd of the money eating out everywhere else other than Miraflores is 10 times cheaper and instead of tact you use the public transportation you could mostly spend about 30 dollars a month night life is cheap too Miraflores you are paying foreigners price

    You’re actually living very expensive. I pay about 400 a month for my apartment & bills. Granted it looks like you’re in miraflores or (damn can’t remember the other rich one).
    I usually shop and cook my meals. That really lowers my expense.

      Hi Monique! Lima weather is definitely not like Florida weather lol. The summer (June-August) is definitely cold and very cloudy. I was lucky to catch some sunny days. Ive heard that the September-May has better weather. I'd imagine with better weather and a nice apartment you would have a great time

    Hey! I know this video is old and you may not be living there anymore but, could you share your experience with racism in Lima? It may sound crazy in a country where almost 90% of the population is considered with an indigenous background but racism is a huge deal (I lived there for 36 years).

      What’s good bro! Tough question. I think playa is more for first time travelers because it is so Americanized. Lima is a major capital city a fraction of the tourism the playa has. Personally because I enjoy different cultures, food, & activites id choose Lima over Playa
