MORE INFO
Lima is one of Latin America’s most practical coastal capitals for remote workers. Miraflores, Barranco, and San Isidro offer ocean views, cafes, coworking spaces, parks, and restaurants that make daily life enjoyable. The city is famous for food, but its real long-stay strength is the combination of urban convenience and moderate costs. The downsides are traffic, safety variation outside preferred districts, and a long gray winter known locally as garúa.
