What things cost in Lima

Prices in Lima spread far wider than any single "from" figure suggests, and 98% of the catalogue can be cancelled free of charge. So the useful question is not what the cheapest ticket costs, but which band buys which kind of day.

That is in line with Peru as a whole, so price alone should not decide where you spend your days.

How far ahead should I book in Lima?
