I think there may also be some confusion in how people are viewing central city rents vs. outside the center. The center of Lima is rather run-down, and rents are not very high there at all. The more desirable neighborhoods are outside the center per se, but are definitely still within the city limits. I believe that the intent of this question refers to these neighborhoods and not the traditional center. Where one may also see a significantly lower rent is in the more distant suburbs, which is what I assume the intent of the second category is.
