Is Lima safe in general? Would love to slowmad there
Areas like baranco and miraflores are totally harmless. Areas like plaza norte and callao… not so much.
Was there recently. I thought it was very safe. But practice proper precaution as usual.
It’s still South America as in you should be careful about phone snatchings, but it’s on the safer side for sure and violet crime is not an issue in Miraflores & Barranco.
When I was there in 2018, I was using phone to navigate in the evening. An elderly woman stopped me to warn me about criminals snatching my phone. Very sweet of her. But had no issues with crime anywhere in Peru. (Or Chile for that matter.)
