I've got a trip back to the airport for a 3am flight during my stay. Did you see if Uber was readily available throughout the night or is it better to get that arranged through my hotel?
You can take a walk along the Miraflores boardwalk overlooking the ocean; it's really nice around sunset. Visit the Indian Market. There are interesting galleries and lovely walking areas in Barranco.
We had the hotel order us a limo the night before. The driver showed up almost half an hour late. The front desk was unable to contact him and told us to order an Uber. Of course, the driver showed up just before the Uber did, so we canceled the Uber ride. Then, he had the audacity to overcharge us; it wasn't worth the argument over $5 or $10, but he did not receive a tip.
