財産 — Hostel Passion Barranco
This is a loud, sociable hostel with a rooftop bar that overlooks the colourful dome of the Barranco church. The lobby has cheap wooden furniture, reggaeton vocals drifting in from the courtyard, and a corkboard covered with tours to the desert and the Amazon. It suits backpackers and young budget travellers who want a party base, not couples seeking quiet. The main draw is the location on the central plaza of Lima's most bohemian district, metres from the bridge to the Malecón.
Limaの歴史
Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as the City of Kings, capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Its colonial centre retains ornate balconies and the San Francisco catacombs, while the 19th century brought French-style mansions along Paseo Colón. The 20th century explosion of shantytowns created a sprawling, dusty metropolis of ten million. Today Lima is the gastronomic capital of South America, its cuisine a fusion of Andean, African, Spanish and Japanese influences, and its districts vary from wealthy San Isidro to gritty Callao.
訪れるのに最適な時間
Lima完全ガイド →最高の月
December to April: sunny, warm and dry, with temperatures around 24-28°C. This avoids the winter fog and is ideal for beach visits and rooftop drinking, while crowds are moderate outside February.
ピーク/フェスティバル Surge
Peak is February due to the Señor de los Milagros processions (moved from October for the main feast) and Carnival celebrations. Hotel prices jump by 30-50% and hostels like this one fill up weeks ahead. The city also gets busy during Semana Santa (Easter week) and July 28-29 (Independence Day).
予算肩の季節
May and November are the budget sweet spots: weather is still mild (18-22°C) but the garúa (winter fog) hasn't fully settled, and prices drop by 20-30%. Fewer tourists means shorter queues at Larco Museum.
天気&パッケージ
Lima's climate quirk is its persistent winter fog (garúa) from May to November, which can make a July day feel like a London November without rain. Pack a light waterproof jacket, a fleece or jumper, and trainers that can handle damp pavements – plus sunglasses for the odd sunny break.
LIVE CITY BRIEFING — Lima
- The new Línea 2 metro extension opened from Ate to San Juan de Lurigancho in late 2025, but it doesn't reach Barranco yet; the main city bus system (Metropolitano) remains the best way to get to Miraflores. Taxis from the airport still charge around 50-70 soles (Uber is cheaper).
- Barranco's Bajada de Baños pedestrian staircase has been closed for repairs since a collapse in February 2026; detour through Calle Ermita to reach the oceanfront.
- The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MAC) in Barranco is hosting a major retrospective of indigenous and Afro-Peruvian artists from June to August 2026 – skip the overpriced Miraflores galleries for this one.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostel Passion Barranco, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the interior courtyard (away from Jirón Manuel Segura). These upper floors minimise street noise and offer more quiet. If no courtyard rooms exist, pick a room at the rear of the building.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (first floor) facing the street – Jirón Manuel Segura is a narrow residential road but still carries local traffic and foot noise. Also skip rooms directly next to the hostel bar or common area, which get loud until late evening.
Best views
Rooms at the front overlook Jirón Manuel Segura, a quietish street with low-rise houses – you'll see local life but not a grand vista. Back-facing rooms view the interior courtyard/patio, which is greener but has no cityscape.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 to 4 are your best bet for quiet. The building is a converted townhouse (no lift), so walking up to the top floor (likely 4th) cuts out most street-level disturbance.
🔊 Noise notes
Jirón Manuel Segura is a narrow one-way lane with occasional mototaxis and early-morning rubbish collection. The hostel's bar plays music until roughly 11pm on weekends. There's no lift, so foot traffic on stairs can echo. Guest chatter in the courtyard also carries up.
Insider tips
Ask for a top-floor room and pay in cash at check-in for a possible small discount – many budget hostels in Barranco prefer it. Park your luggage in the free left-luggage room if arriving early (check-in usually from 1pm); the hostel has no parking, so use the public lot at Plaza de Armas, 5 minutes' walk.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

お金 & 通貨

Use ATMs at major banks like Banco de Crédito or BBVA for the best rates; avoid exchange houses at the airport or tourist bureaux, which give poor rates and high commissions.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants, and shops; contactless is common. Cash is still needed for small street vendors, taxis, and markets.
In restaurants, round up the bill or leave 10% for good service. Taxis don't expect tips. Hotel staff: 2–5 soles for porters, 3–5 soles per night for housekeeping.
食事、ショッピング、旅行 予算
Cheap car hire →A basic black coffee from a bakery or café con leche costs about 4–6 soles.
A menú del día (set lunch with soup, main, and drink) at a local eatery costs 8–12 soles.
A main course at a simple restaurant (like chicken or lomo saltado) costs 12–18 soles.
Jirón Manuel Segura and nearby streets have anticuchos (grilled beef heart) stalls and salchipapas counters for 5–10 soles.
Supermarkets like Plaza Vea and Metro are common in the area for groceries.
For affordable basics, try the Gamarra commercial district or open-air markets like Mercado Central de Lima.
The cheapest way is a combi (shared van) or bus for 1–2 soles per ride; from the airport, take the Metropolitano bus (3.50 soles) or a regular bus (1 sol) to the area.
Eat at menú del día lunch spots instead of tourist restaurants. Use public transport combis rather than taxis. Buy groceries at Plaza Vea, not convenience stores.
