World-class food vs the all-inclusive.
A week in Lima costs less than a week in Aruba.
Aruba is cheap to fly to and expensive to be in (about $170 a day). Lima is the reverse (about $60 a day). Over 7 days the ground cost decides it, the part almost nobody prices in.
| Lima | Aruba | |
|---|---|---|
| Flight (typical) | $584 | $447 |
| 7 days on the ground | $420 | $1,190 |
| Total, all in | $1,004 | $1,637 |
Cheaper from 12 of 12 US cities we track, by about $633 all in.
