Pros and Cons of Living in Lima

"Expats and digital nomads living in Lima, often like the affordable cost of living, which allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. They appreciate the rich cultural heritage and history of the city, with its beautiful architecture, museums, and archaeological sites. The vibrant food scene, featuring a diverse range of delicious local and international cuisine, is another major draw for expats and digital nomads. Additionally, they enjoy the friendly and welcoming nature of the local people, which makes it easier to integrate into the community and make new friends. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may dislike the heavy traffic and congestion in Lima, which can make getting around the city a challenge. The public transportation system is not as efficient or reliable as in some other cities, which can be frustrating for those who rely on it. The city's air pollution is another concern, as it can negatively impact the quality of life for those living there. Some expats and digital nomads may also find the weather in Lima to be less than ideal, with its often overcast and humid conditions. Finally, the language barrier can be a challenge for those who do not speak Spanish, as English is not widely spoken outside of tourist areas and the expat community," said one expat in Lima.
