Leave time for immigration and security
Plan at least 90–120 minutes between tour end and your flight to clear immigration, security, and airport procedures.

Small carry-on bags are easiest to manage—ask about luggage options at booking if you need storage during the tour.
Carry some soles (cash)
Small vendors and some neighborhood cafes prefer soles; keep small bills for tips and quick snacks.
Dress in layers for the coast
Miraflores can be windy and cool even after sunny central Lima; a light windbreaker and closed shoes are smart.
Comfortable walking shoes
Streets, cobbled plazas and museum steps are best navigated with supportive footwear.
Light windbreaker
Coastal wind and fog can chill you quickly, especially on the Miraflores malecón.
