Top Nature in Lima

Watch out for the tide! It can get high quickly, so keep an eye on it if you’re swimming or lounging too close to the water

I suggest heading to the beach early, like around 8 AM, to snag a good spot and enjoy the sunrise – it's breathtaking!

Bring your own snacks and drinks; beach vendors can be pricey and the food isn't always the best. My advice is to pack a cooler with your favorites!

I recommend getting there by 8 AM. The waves are way better in the morning and you’ll beat the crowds on the beach! Plus, the sunrise views are stunning.

If you're looking to rent surfboards, I suggest checking the local shops instead of the ones near the main entrance. They often have better rates and more equipment options

I think it’s worth your time to take a short walk along the coast to find those hidden spots. You might even find some great waves and way fewer people!

My advice is to pack some snacks and water. The beach vendors can be pricey and the quality isn’t always great, so it’s good to have your own stuff.

Try to haggle a bit for your dune buggy ride. I found out some drivers are open to negotiation, and it can save you a few soles if you're friendly about it!

I recommend taking a sunset sandboarding tour. The light during that time is unreal, and it makes for awesome photos. Plus, it's cooler and less crowded!

If you can, go around 10 AM. It gets pretty crowded later in the day, which can take away from the experience. Plus, the lighting is best early on for photos!

Definitely wear sturdy shoes! I learned this the hard way; the paths can get slippery and uneven. Good grip makes a huge differencce when navigating through the caves

My advice is to take your time with the hikes... I rushed and missed some epic views... Trust me, you’ll want to linger at every viewpoint and soak in the beauty

I recommend downloading offline maps before the trip. The signal can be quite tricky once you're out there, and you don’t want to get lost trying to find those stunning lagoons!

Pack extra snacks and a portable water filter. I ran out of snacks during a long trek, and refilling at streams with a filter saved me money. Those energy bars can get pricey!

Check the surf report before heading out, especially if you’re a beginner. I missed the best waves one day because I didn't look. The local surfers are super helpful in sharing conditions, too.

If you love seafood, hit the local market for lunch instead of the pricier beachside restaurants. I found amazing ceviche there at a fraction of the cost, and it was so fresh!

Stay in the town near the beach instead of staying at resorts; it has a more authentic vibe. Plus, you can easily find budget-friendly accommodations and street food options!
