19 handpicked hostels in Lima, sorted by traveler rating.
Lima splits into distinct backpacker bases: clifftop Miraflores for surf breaks and late bars, bohemian Barranco for street art and live music, and the colonial center around Plaza Mayor for budget dorms near the long-distance bus terminals. Most travelers use the city as a two- or three-night launchpad before heading inland to Cusco and Machu Picchu, fueling up on ceviche and pisco sours along the way.
