Pirwa Backpackers hostel Lima - Peru
The Pirwa Prada Youth Hostel in Lima is located at Gonzales Prada Street #179, in the heart of the relaxed and upscale Miraflores district, considered by many to be the best base for travelers in Lima due to its beachfront location, abundant flower-filled parks and gardens, and quality restaurants, sidewalk cafés, bars, and nightclubs-all of which you'll find within walking district to Prada Youth Hostel in Lima!
While in Miraflores, stop by the adobe pre-Incan pyramid Huaca Pucllana (Pucllana Temple) in during the daytime to explore its onsite museum or in the nighttime to appreciate its creative illumination. Strolling around Miraflores will afford you some unbeatable people-watching, from surfers, sunbathers on the beach to paragliders setting off from the cliffs and circling over the Pacific Ocean. The cliffside and ultra-modern Larcomar Shopping Center is perfect for some high-end shopping if you're so-inclined. Most importantly, if ceviche is on your list of things to try, Miraflores boasts some of the best seafood restaurants in Lima. If you'd like to appreciate the historical center of Lima, considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it'll take you only 15min by car to reach the Plaza Mayor.
Our backpacker hostel in Lima offers a mixture of cheap dorm accommodation or private rooms with one double bed or two twin beds. Whichever of our bright cozy rooms you choose, you'll have access to 24hr hot water and comfy beds, as in all of our Lima hostels.
If you feel like staying in, you can relax and work on your tan as you write your postcards in the garden, or challenge other travelers to a pool game in the TV lounge, perhaps with some local beers at our in-house bar as the prize. Trade travel stories with other guests while experimenting with local ingredients in the self-catering kitchen.
When you're ready to hit the city, stop by Pirwa's travel desk for detailed tourist information, tour options, and the answers to all your questions. Any valuables or travel documents you've left behind will be safe in your security locker, and no matter what time you finish your Lima adventure, there will always be someone from our friendly staff waiting at reception to attend to your needs.

Royal Felipe Fort
The 18th century stone fortress of Royal Felipe on the Port of Callao was built in a pentagonal shape with a place for cannons at each point and towers at 2 points. Named for King Philip V, its purpose was to defend against British pirates and privateers lured by the possibility of Inca gold. It was a player in the War of Independence and in the first years of independence the fortress provided refuge for the new government and parliament, inspiring San Martín to name it "Independence Castle".
Santo Domingo Convent
The Basilica of Santo Domingo, originally the temple of Our Lady of the Rosary, has the distinction of housing the Altar of Peruvian Saints, which includes the remains of St Rose of Lima, St Martín de Porres, and St Juan Masias. It was constructed in 1540 on land provided by Francisco Pizarro and is now one of the oldest churches in Lima, found in the history center. Alongside you'll find the Convent, among whose baroque rooms and Sevillian-tiled patios the University of San Marcos was founded.
Basilica Cathedral of Lima
Lima's Cathedral in the Plaza de Armas was originally built in the 16th century as a rustic adobe structure and then rebuilt or transformed several times in the 18th century after passing through various earthquakes. Despite the addition of soaring towers and other grand elements, the basilica still retains its colonial façade and structure. The chapel houses the remains of Lima's founder, conquistador Francisco Pizarro, who laid the first stone and carried on his shoulders the first log.
Pucusana
Pucusana Harbour, south of Lima, is marked by colorful fishing boats and cevicherías. This fishing village doubles as a summer (Dec-Mar) retreat for the wealthy of Lima. You can take a boat tour or fishing trip or sunbathe on the most popular beaches, Las Ninfas and Pucusana. Explore the fish market and stop for a beachside ceviche of the day's catch. Towards the cliff you can see the Boquerón del Diablo (Devil Mouth) and Rostro de Cristo (Face of Christ) rock formations- the mouth groans!
