财产 — 1900 Backpacker's Hostel
A functional base in central Lima, 1900 Backpacker's Hostel occupies an old republican-era house with high ceilings, creaky wooden floors and a courtyard that smells of damp stone. The lobby feels like a colonial parlour turned into a hangout: mismatched sofas, a foosball table, and a receptionist who can tell you which combi to catch to Miraflores. It suits budget travellers who want a social vibe near the Plaza de Armas — you’re here to sleep cheap and explore, not to lounge in a spa.
Lima编年史
Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as the 'City of Kings', becoming the capital of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru. Its historic centre retains colonial balconies and baroque churches, though much was rebuilt after the 1746 earthquake. In the 20th century, the city sprawled outward, absorbing shantytowns and modernist high-rises. Today, Lima is a gritty, vibrant metropolis where pre-Columbian huacas sit between traffic jams, and cevicherías outnumber coffee shops. Its identity is a tense mix of colonial grandeur, indigenous resilience and chaotic modernity.

April and November: dry and mild, with fewer tourists than in July or August. April has clear skies perfect for walking the Malecón; November offers the same calm before the summer heat kicks in.
峰会 / 节日 Surge
July and August: Lima’s winter — grey, drizzly but not cold. This is Peruvian high season, especially for travellers combining the coast with Cusco. Hotel prices in the historic centre can double; backpacker dorms still book out. The Fiestas Patrias (28-29 July) bring parades and street food fairs.
预算肩部季节
September and October: winter lingers but crowds thin. Hostel prices drop by 20-30%, and you’ll get walk-in availability at restaurants. The garúa drizzle persists, but you can see the city without queues.
天气 & 包装
Lima in late June is overcast, cool and damp — the ‘winter’ means 15-18°C and persistent mist. Pack a fleece, a windproof jacket and closed-toe shoes; leave the flip-flops for the coast north of the city.
