Profit
Is an Airbnb in Mejía Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mejía Airbnb took in PEN 16,424 in the 12 months to May 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about PEN 36,110, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about PEN 2,170 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Mejía's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Mejía listings are booked on 18% or more of their nights, against 12% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of PEN 460 adds about PEN 4,580 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge PEN 660 a night or more, against a median of PEN 460. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about PEN 1,580 a year.
- Open for the busy months. February brought the average listing about PEN 5,570, against PEN 782 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Mejía listings average 4.66 stars, and 9% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about PEN 3,010 a month, against PEN 1,370 for the average one.
