- It's our first time in South America! We traveled from Mexico to Peru, and Lima completely took us by surprise.
►Subscribe to our channel: goo.gl/kMGKSA
In today’s travel vlog, we fly from Mexico to Lima, Peru. After taking an Uber to our Airbnb in the heart of Miraflores, our travel exhaustion caught up with us. We had to sleep for practically an entire day, which wasn't ideal, but we decided it was better to be refreshed for our week in Lima. After all, we're making our first ever Lima vlog!
A Lima, Peru travel vlog wouldn’t be complete without the neighborhoods of Miraflores and Barranco. So on our first real day in the city, we let a professional cyclist (a Lima local) guide us on a bike tour of the city.
Miraflores is the most popular neighborhood for travelers visiting Lima. It sits right next to the coast with cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Barranco is Miraflores' colorful, bohemian neighbor, filled with murals, art, and historic architecture.
The first restaurant we tried, Buena Vista Cafe, was quite underwhelming (not typical food from Peru, though). We soon realized that authentic Peruvian foods like causa, ceviche, anticuchos, cancha, and picarones, are DELICIOUS. The more Peruvian food we tried, the more our mouths were watering for it!
Before traveling to Lima, we weren’t big fans of ceviche, but after tasting Peruvian ceviche, it’s now one of our favorite foods on the planet! Come along with us as we explore the food scene in Lima and visit some popular attractions throughout the city!
-OUR LIMA RECOMMENDATIONS-
WHERE TO EAT IN LIMA, PERU
1. Mangos Restaurant (Peruvian Food, Located in Larcomar)
2. La 73 Restaurant (Peruvian Food, Located in Barranco)
3. Makoto (Japanese Food, Located in Miraflores)
4. Muya (Peruvian Food, Located in Barranco)
5. Panchita (Peruvian Food, Located in Miraflores)
6. Peru Gourmet (Peruvian Food, Located in Historic Center)
WHAT TO DO IN LIMA, PERU
1. Take a bike tour. We found one on Airbnb and felt like it was the perfect way to get ourselves more comfortable with Lima.
2. Visit Parque del Amor. This park is in the Miraflores neighborhood on the malecon. It's a great place to take some pictures and watch the sunset.
3. Explore the Miraflores and Barranco neighborhoods. There are so many things to see, do, and eat in each of these zones in Lima. They are also considered some of the safest parts of the city.
4. Watch the changing of the guards. Every day at 12pm, you can see this fantastic ceremony at the Presidential Palace (Palacio de Gobierno) in the historic center. We recommend going early (the concert portion starts at 11:30am) to get a front-row seat.
5. Browse Peruvian arts and crafts at Inca Market. There are a few to choose from. They all contain thousands of local handicrafts like blankets, colorful decor, stuffed alpacas, and more.
6. Stroll down the coast. The malecon runs along the coast for miles in Miraflores. There's a walking/bike path through the entire thing and also benches, workout equipment, dog parks, playgrounds, and tons more to see and do.
7. Visit the popular attraction in Peru - Larcomar. This oceanside shopping mall has dozens of shops, restaurants, and cafes.
8. Visit the Pre-Inca Ruins. Enjoy learning about ancient civilizations and their impressive history? This is a must-see.

We enjoyed our time in Lima and are now back in Mexico. Traveling is fun but it's nice to be back in a more familiar place. If you haven't been following our social media, we'll be coming at you soon from Mexico City!!
Check out Cassa Ceviche in Playa Del Carmen, great pisco sour and some Peruvian ceviche :)
Thanks so much for your video guys
But But, Did you two ever try the Lima beans :P I have had them and they are Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is crazy! So I’m going to Cancun next year and then for my next trip I was thinking of going to Peru and here you guys are in Peru!
15:39 Never had cow heart? You've had hotdogs before right?
I'm a full Mexican, born and raised. I love my country like no other...but Peru and their beautiful people are simply amazing. We are so similar and in my time there 6 months ago, I fell in love with such a beautiful and amazing land. Perú es increíble!
Despite the long distance, we have so many similarities.
Muchas gracias, we like Mexicans a lot, think of them as brothers .. Other Latin American countries are cousins but you are brothers 😘💕😁😁😊
Thanks, Peru is awesone.
Perú is better than mexico in food y and other things more!!!
Perú is better than mexico in food y and other things more!!!
Go to Lima in the summer is a million times better.
No it is not.
Matter of opinion, obviously.
Is Summer in December?
@@peregrina5208 Yes it is.
The sunset in Malecon is great , summer is on December until April
THAT IS TRUE
the ceviche is too expensive. There are other good restautants you can get better ceviche for for a lower price, really!!
The price is from 3 dollars or more for one person in normal quality, prices like the video are for rich people or cheated people, that's the problem of Lima
Average price for ceviche is around 25 PEN minimum (8 USD) in Lima and other cities outside of Lima 18 PEN (6 USD) minimum. If people tell to buy "cheaper" just be careful, the fish could be in bad condition and the food is definitely bad (prepared with lack of hygiene) . I recommend to people that visit Peru must ask "pesca del día" (The fish of the day) because the fish that restaurant gonna prepare your ceviche is the season fish and also take care of our sea and environment (Ignore to people that say that "lenguado" is best fish for ceviche, they are assholes, finally is almost the same flavor).
I was thinking about that ! Lo de la 73 was like armed robbery ! 44 dolars for the fucking fish limed and corn, no onions, no juice and no love.
true that....they just really need to get some research done so those "good" restaurants dont sell tourists overprized food
15 soles
How many peruvians are watching this video lol 😅❣️🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪

So glad you have enjoyed Lima, despite the language barrier but you made it and had the taste of Peru. Farewell and remember that the whole Peru awaits your visit soon.
Thank you for being so welcoming of us, Esteban! We appreciate that. Hope we can come back to Peru again and experience more of the food and culture there. :)
A suggestion about your allergies: make a small set of pictures, or pix on your phone, of peas, onions, etc. to show to waiters when necessary. Good video!
Great suggestion!
Great thought! Visual "language" is universal :)
Karla Patterson great idea!
Yeah, good suggestion, I was thinking about the same.
Green beans = VAINITAS in Peru.
Perú looks beautiful and it's food soo tasty!! Greetings!! Great video!
Thanks, guys! Your video from Lima brought back many memories. I spent there two months exactly twenty years ago. I lived in Miraflores, and Barranco, Larcomar and parque Kennedy were my hangouts. They really spruced the city up. The whole country was awakening from a decades long economic doldrum and urban terrorism. Some places like Larcomar were very nice already, but barranco was pretty beaten up, although both were hives of activity.
Once again... Thanks for the memories!
Glad this video randomly came up in my feed as I'm doing 2 days in Lima on my way from Costa Rica to Bolivia!
Lima is so beautiful 😍, thank you guys for the info in this video, Lima our next destination 👍😀👏
I'm Peruvian, loved to know you liked our capital city .... Good advices, be careful, but - apart from that - we are usually warm, hospitable people and love smiling talkative people, like you. Old Latin American downtowns are not exactly the same but will look similar to foreigners because they were built by the Spaniards, often Castilian and Andalusians. And Mexico and Peru are brotherly countries (Mexico is obviously richer than us) because we had the same mother - Spain - and our fathers were advanced ancient native civilizations: Aztecs & Mayan and Inkas.
I recomend you to go to Cuzco, arequipa !!
Fab thank you for the advice, we been there already beautiful and magical 👍🇵🇪
A bike tour is honestly one of the best things you can do in any new city. We ALWAYS do one anywhere its offered.
My favorite travel couple!!!
Beautiful Peru, beautiful world, God. Greetings from Mexico. 😍😘

Yes....
Perú is wonderful
is Amazing
@@jbayer7073
Greetings... 😃😍
Awesome! Didn't even seem like over a half hour. Great job.
Ya totally thought the same like whoa that went fast!
That is the highest of compliments. Thank you TTC and Trish! 😍
I really enjoy your videos and am happy you two went to Peru. I liked how you talked about the historic center. You are correct that the centers are the same and that's because there were 140-some rules from the Spanish King that dictated how Hispanic cities were created called the Laws of the Indies (Leyes de las Indias). They started with a plaza, palace, church and commercial. This era of city building around public space is referred to as the Ideal City era.
WOW! No wonder they have so many similarities. Throw a rock and you've probably hit one of those 140 rules lol. Thanks for sharing these cool facts, Jeffrey!
Balconies in Lima are not found anywhere else in latinamerica.
@@lizmendez2257 there are very few in some places like mexico, but definetly not as much like lima.
Not the same, Lima has balconies of the Spanish nobility and infrastructure of the kingdom of Spain that no other typical colonial cities have. The bridge of Stone, the cemetery, the bullring, the first official university in the Americas, the boulevard Descalzos, the Alameda or walkway and further toward the sea, the Spanish even built a castle with stone walls to protect their dominions from Dutch and British pirates.
well I have now been to PERU thanks for taking me !! where we going next ?
😂 We are going to Mexico City!
😅🥰
You two are so cute together. You make me smile. Thank you for the tour. The food is beautiful.
So happy to hear that. Thanks so much for watching! :)
WHat do you mean with "Their version of Pisco Sour" ? there´s only one version. xD
It was a "pisake sour" A pisco sour with sake added = their version of a pisco sour.
There is two types of pisco. There is Peruvian pisco and there’s Chilean pisco.
@@Dfekt Chilean pisco does not exist, the word Pisco only exist in Peru
Rabi c are you sure about that? Because I was in Chile only three months ago and had their version of pisco. 😂 I know that it’s widely debated between Peruvians and Chileans in regards to pisco
@@Dfekt men, the companies chileneas have cheated, and people like you are ignorants, the Peru win litigation and the world will know the truth, just like that.
My partner and I really enjoy your energy!! So happy with your success on monetizing your adventures, you have such wonderful things ahead!! Love 💕
I have been to Lima and it was fun to see some new things and places I have seen before. It never rains there so the fog keeps things alive.
they must be careful with Venezuelans because they rob foreigners in Lima
It was so much fun traveling, with you guys, to Peru !! I love eating foods from different countries and and everything looked so delicious. Can't wait for your next video.
I love 🇵🇪 de parte de un Mexicano.
mexico es hermoso tambien. de parte de un peruano
Unos cuantos de mi familia de mi mamá y mi mamá ya fueron a México a visitar, y después fue otra familia de parte de mi padre mi tía y mi hermana fueron también a México a visitar, les gusto mucho
México 🇲🇽 ☀️Peru

@@andresdoria6118 😂😂😂
Terrific video guys!! Thank you so much for sharing that experience. Safe travels back!
Best place to eat in South America.
*Peru has amazing varieties of Corns that are unique in the country 🇵🇪. The crunchy toasted corn is called Canchita and the big corn in ceviche is called Maiz Gigante del Cusco*
Soy de Mexico y Peru es increíble ! En todos los sentidos , su comida , su gente , sus maravillas,etc. Estuve en lima , visité la rosa náutica , el centro de la ciudad , Maido y simplemente su ceviche está a años luz adelante que el de nosotros he de admitir , fuimos a ICA , probamos cata de pisco , fuimos a la huacachina , a Cuzco , la Laguna humantay , el tour por todo valle sagrado , Machupichu , Iquitos , días en la selva ! Simplemente maravilloso deben sentirse orgullosos por tan bonito país e increíble cultura que tienen , sin duda espero regresar únicamente a comer jaja y no por nada son uno de los primeros países latinoamericanos en recibir turistas , si no han ido se los recomiendo ampliamente !
Muchas gracias por sus palabras , es muy amable. Bendiciones.

Barranco is my place!!!!!!!!!
Love that place
Yes Barranco y my favorite town. Comeback to Peru!
@@rjwng5836 Hope to visit in March unless it gets pushed back AGAIN for the third time.
@@RickFidelisReed oh.. I was supposed to be in Lima last year in March but had to cancel it cause of Covid. I may have to wait till next year 2022 because the second wave it hitting Peru very hard. So please be very careful if you decide to visit Peru this year and keep in mind you will have to quarantine for 14 days after arrival. Take care Rick..
We leave for Peru in 2 weeks. Excited to see what you did in Lima.
That's awesome! Hope you enjoyed our video. Safe travels to Lima! :)
Japanese have been in Peru since the 1800's, hence the Asian influence in foods and restaurants.
1800's? I thought they arrived in the 20th century.
@@etchalaco9971 They came in the final decades of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th Century
juan se hernandez 1898-1899
Not in all and not just Japanese, in fact from Japan I just know and tasted Suchi and Tempura, the white rice is...yak, Chinese in food is much better and much more variety.
peruvian cuisine is indigenous cuisine not asian
Loved the video. Peru looks pretty cool - figuratively and literally.
It also looks like you guys have picked up some new editing tricks. I've really enjoyed the progression of your videos over time.
As for us, three weeks until we leave for Vietnam! - Scott
My favorite food in Peru was Lomo Saltado❤
We tried that too, just not on video. It was very good! I think my favorite food there was the ceviche.
~Jordan
more than ceviche and aji de gallina ?
Aji de Gallina and Papas a la Huancaina where really good too.
Great video, I have been wanting to visit there! Keep posting!
Glad you had a great time visiting Lima! Hope you can come back soon and visit so much more, and try more food obviously, you're wolecome :) 🇵🇪
Thank you for visiting my county Peru 🇵🇪
It’s a beautiful country especially the andes and amazon. Machu Picchu is very espectacular.
Your video was awesome. I really enjoyed traveling to Peru through your camera lens. I give it a thumbs up 👍 I really love your videos of all your travels. I find you give a complete travel detailed tour of every city you visit. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from New York City 🌃 by the way how’s Lashka? I just adore 🥰 her. Stay well, safe, and God bless you guys always. ❤️🙏🐶🐕🐩👍
Beautiful video guys .. I really enjoyed!.
That was awesome! Thanks for putting the "Travel" back in "Tangerine Travels"! LOL
We caught the travel bug when we crossed the border into Mexico. I don't think we'll stay in one place for long anymore ;)
Perú is beautiful.
Nice video guys! Can't wait to go to South America soon!
Do you know where you’re headed?
I'll
So glad you guys had a good time in my birthplace, Lima. I enjoy watching your videos, you’re real fun and honest but respectful with your opinions. I do not miss the fog in Lima, but I sure do miss the food, now that you tried it you know why, haha
Thank you for sharing this vid. Peru is a place I always have wanted to visit and you given me great ideas!
We're so happy to hear that! Thanks for watching Lili!
Nuevo suscriptor. Bienvenidos a Perú amigos.
I love the video. Peru is amazing!!!. I will recomended ceviche!!
Excellent video! Congratulations and thank you! Make more!!
It took me around two months to acclimatise to the weather and atmosphere - before that I was feeling out of sorts and shitty, so I think it's a common ailment if you're not used to how it is in Peru.
Ceviche y causa for the win!
Awesome video !! New subscriber over here 👈🏻 last time I visit Peru 🇵🇪 was in 1999 I think is time for a comeback lol
I love cats. Thank you for going to another country. I hope you have fun traveling. Thank you for sharing i enjoy your CZcams channel
Seeing all those cats everywhere was so entertaining! We hear that for a while people were "dumping" their pet cats there, which is why there are so many. Now, there are HUGE fines if you get caught leaving a cat in the park. P.S. Thanks for watching our video, Robert!
So interesting!! So happy for you , and US, that you are able to expand your travels. Wonderful video guys. More please!
Such a great videos guys! I loved it. And I’m so happy you got the first class upgrade. You so deserve it. I love Aeromexico - such great service every time. The food in Peru looks amazing - I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing with us
Thanks for saying that, Maureen! :) It was a very nice treat for us. Aeromexico sure seems like a winner to us after this trip. Hope you get the chance to try Peruvian food someday. It quickly became some of our favorite ever!
What a great life your living, where is your dog 🐕?
I went to Peru 5 years ago with my ex-husband. We went to Piura. He's from Peru we needed to see the landscape in the economy cuz he's returning to retire there.
So you abandoned him 😂😂
Saludos y felicitaciones desde Lima (ju20vi2019)-Perú-América.
I am so hooked on your Videos. What an eye opener. Keep them coming. Love you guys!
Nice job branching out to new places!
Thanks for sharing your trip to Lima, Peru. I love seeing and hearing about the food! About the driving...I felt the way you did about the drivers in France. When I came back from my France trip, I was afraid to step off the curb in Missoula, MT when a car was near. But then a few years later, I taught in Venezuela and had a car (they offered interest free car loans at my school) and it was definitely an adventure driving. I remember one of the local teachers from my school zooming past me on the right on the way to school one morning. I didn't see many traffic accidents, surprisingly enough. When I returned to the states after my two years driving in Venezuela, I found the driving rather dull and boring. Great video!
I don't like the Antichuchos in Mangos Restaurante. I prefer them in Estadio Restaurant, in lima center, jirón de la unión 👍
Or in Plaza de la Bandera - Pueblo Libre.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Ah!!! veo que también eres un hombre de cultura xD
Son turistas , queremos divisas o no? Quieren vender por ahi, arreglen sus locales y cobren lo que es debido. Aprendan que cierta gente no solo paga por la comida, aunque esta sea 1000 veces mejor, si no es un lugar que les guste no la disfrutan nada. Y ahi quedo la comida peruana.
I don’t know how I missed this one but I’m glad I caught it. I visited Lima years ago and your visit reminds me of some very good times. We were on our way to Machu Pichu so our interest in Lima was so-so. Happily, we did have great food in Baranco and enjoyed the area of Miraflores near the water and cliffs. Thanks for bringing back the memories!
Your Spanish is amazing! But what impresses me the most is how you guys escaped the rat race lifestyle and are living and working doing what you love. It is not easy to pack up and leave your country to start all over again somewhere else. Hats off to you Tangerine Travels ! :-)
I spent 2 hours at the Premier Lounge in CDMX.
Lima is very cool. Would love to go there in the Summer
You kids are total dorks... but in the best way. Great video! I'm headed to Peru next week but I feel like I'm already there.
The video is really great, congratulations!
I’m catching up on your videos after being in Argentina for 10 days; it’s great to see you guys again!
When I travel with food allergies I google translate into the language of where I am going, print it and put it in a small plastic pouch that fits in my wallet to show to waiters wherever I eat. You can also order like small business type cards to give away to waiters each time. Another option are these cute thin bangle bracelets inscribed with your allergies. We traveled extensively throughout Europe last year for a month and now I'm wishing I would have used those and it would be a nice keepsake of our travels. I also have allergies to latex and antibiotics along with wheat and had no issues throughout our trip. The bracelets come in silver, copper, gold, bronze, etc. so collectively they are pretty.
Those bracelets sound really handy! To be honest, we didn't think much about translating my allergies since Spanish is the main language in Peru and we know how to say all of those things in Spanish. It caught us off guard that food names in Peru would be so different. All part of the adventure though, right? :)
Nice too see you guys in Peru. Wonderful experience. Thanks for sharing
thanks for this video. I will know where to search if I get back to traveling!!!
As always, loved the video!!
Thanks so much Patti!
My daughter has been in Lima for two weeks now. She went to a dozen museums. The Metropolitan, and Art museum have 3D displays. The catacombs are also cool. She also went to the Grand National Theater of Lima to see the national ballet. Oh, she went paragliding by the Park of Love. Now, she is resting before going to Cusco, and Machu Picchu to see the Inti Raymi festivities. ... Sadly, she didn't have time to go to the Ballestas islands (AKA poor-man's Galapagos). .. And yes, she complained about traffic.
I spent time in miraflores and barranco, had a great time in Lima. Peruvians are great people.
Great video guys!
A big part of the vocabulary differences between the different Latin American countries has to do with the original languages spoken in those regions before colonization. In Mexico the dominant language was Nahuatl and to a lesser extent in the south Mayan. So most words for foods, plants and animals endemic to the New World come from those languages in Mexico save for a few words that are really local and come from one of the lesser known local languages. In Peru the dominant language was Quechua if I'm not mistaken, so their words for some of the same things probably come from that language. The core Spanish is the same but eventually the differences really begin to standout. And that's not taking into account the regionalisms and popular sayings. A general rule of thumb is that as long as you stick to formal or proper textbook Spanish and avoid slang you should be fine.
Nice video. I really enjoyed it. The cities in Latin America were built and organized according to the Castilian model (Spain). The streets were laid out according to a perpendicular layout and in the center stood the Plaza de Armas or Plaza Mayor, which consisted of an open space where urban life developed and social, official and religious activities were manifested. On its sides were the administrative or official buildings and the Cathedral or church of the town. That is why you will find a lot of similarities in all colonial cities in Latin America (big plazas, big churches, big buildings, incredible architecture). Actually the architecture is very similar to any city in the south of Spain (Seville, for example). The good thing about all these colonial cities in Latin America is that they have been preserved and mantained throughout the years. Greetings from Barcelona, Spain.
Yeah, despite our typical earthquakes, which proves Spanish Builders of the time were very good. Short time ago a modern XXIst century bridge collapsed just behind Lima old downtown, and the official explanation blamed it to the river so high because of the heavy rains , that due to El Niño phenomenon the awful floods carried on so many rocks damaging the structure , blablabla 🙄🙄 .... Nevertheless, the old Stone Bridge, built in the XVIIth century, resisted all right (and of course has resisted El Niño and earthquakes for so many centuries, and when cars, busses and trucks were invented, stood all right all this massive traffic over it).
Que bonito que es Perú, de parte de México 🇲🇽
The plants growing in the black net actually help to join the rocks with their roots :)
I loved this little taste of Lima, Peru! I have Peru definitely on my list of top places I want to visit. The architecture in Lima is gorgeous, and the natural landscapes are beautiful, as well.
If the anticuchos weren't tender they were overcooked guys. Supposed to be the most tender bbq'ed meat ever
Love how much are you growing guys! Who would though that this is now one of my top channels on YT!
Love from Guadalajara! Come back some Day! ❤️
Aw thank you so much, El Fastah! :) We hope to return to GDL really soon. It's truly our "home away from home" in Mexico. We miss it and our Tapatios!
Seeing you is sweet. You are like new travelers. Everything that is the usual for people who have traveling for years is new for you guys...
You earn a peruvian follower! Thanks for this amazing video about Lima peru
