This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on Lima! We lived there for several years and I’ve been to most of the places you mentioned. The rocky beach is one of my favorite places on earth! I love the sound of the waves hitting the rocks. Fun fact - the rocks are not naturally there, they are river rocks imported to prevent erosion.
I AM PERUVIAN FROM LIMA, THANK YOU GUYS FOR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO, WE PERUVIANS ALSO TALK ABOUT THE BEST USA PLACES AND CULTURE AND ABOUT FRIENDLY FOREIGN COUNTRIES. BEST REGARDS FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION.
Thank you so much!! And yes!! We LOVED Lima (and everywhere we went in Peru for that matter). Such a beautiful country with great culture and nice people! 🇵🇪
Thanks for your videos. We just got back from Peru. We used your videos as a guide on what to do and see while in Lima and Cusco. For Lima, the only places we didn't really get to experience was the Plaza de Armas, Moorish Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. The Plaza de Armas was blocked due to Peru's Independence Day. We couldn't get to the Moorish Palace because there was a concert going on, and lastly, they are doing construction around the Bridge of Sighs, and it's blocked off. Awesome video, and it was super helpful for planning. When we got to Barranco, I saw the same bibliotech, and was like, okay, now I have a reference point!!!
I’ll actually be visiting in February to see my girlfriend this video was very helpful because you’ll be my first time being there but not my first time in South America I’ll make sure to visit all those places all of them look amazing thank you guys you just earned a subscriber
I have never been to Peru, But with one look, I would mistake this for Europe. Beautiful architecture and a place full of history. The stray cats look so adorable! Awesome compilation of top places to visit. Thanks for putting this together. Take care ❤
Hello, guys! Well, I have too say that Lima is a so attractive capital with so much to offer! A very captivating city for sure...Thanks for let us know much more about Lima in this so beautiful way! Hugs and cheers from Milan! Renata
It really is a great city! A really interesting blend of culture, natural beauty, and history! Thanks so much for the nice comment, it really means alot to us! 😃
Awwwww Congratulations! You guys are going to LOVE it! Such beautiful places to celebrate such an amazing milestone of your life. CONGRATS on the wedding! So excited!!!😃
Thanks so much for the recommendations. We're stopping in Lima on an upcoming cruise and I wanted to get some ideas on where to go and what to see there. You've been most helpful. Congratulations on your engagement.
Very nice. We are from India. We will visit Lima and one of the 7 wonders Michu pichu after visiting my son family during December. Both your videos are very informative. Keep going
Wow you guys are going to LOVE Peru, it's such an amazing country. And thanks! We actually really want to visit India someday, and hope to visit in the next year or so! We have some friends visiting India now and they're loving it! 😊 Thanks so much for the well wishes, and we hope you guys have a fantastic trip! -Michael
I've been following you guys for a lot of my travel ideas and this video on Lima was amazing! I'm going to Peru in Apr and your videos have been my go-to for all travel planning :)😍
Aww! This is one of the nicest comments we've ever received! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing that with us, it's feedback like this that motivates us to make videos! 😊❤. We hope you have an AMAZING Peru trip! Is there anything in particular you're most excited about?
@@SharingtheRoad Well, the highlight of our trip is Machu Picchu, but I'm also very interested in the rest of the Sacred Valley and we're wondering if we can spend 1 day exploring the Amazon rainforests. Did you guys get a chance to do that?
You guys are terrific. Just discovered you. Great info presentation, lovely energy. No mention of sponsorship. You are really prfessional and well edited. Thanks.
Omg, that's so funny. I am a 6 ft tall woman so I do get some stares in countries with shorter people. You're giving me hope that I will find a tall husband! Great informative video. 👍🏾
A normal mile (I have seen it described as a "statute mile") is 5,280 feet. A nautical mile is about 6,076 feet or about one minute of latitude at the equator or 1/60 of a degree at the equator.
El Parque de las Aguas is another nice place to visit, in the night you can see a nice show created with colors in the water. The entry is not expensive.
I'm late, but congratulations on your new life together.❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 That is so cool. Since the proposal happened in M.P., I was shocked that yall didn't include that as part of your top 10 places to go. Other than that, I appreciate the video. ❤
Thank you SO MUCH! That's so kind of you! We actually just got married (in Slovenia) and will be posting that video soon too! We're so glad you liked the video!
@@SharingtheRoad oh my! Even more to celebrate. I am looking forward to seeing that experience also. Congratulations again. May yall be blessed for all your days together. 🎊🎊💝💝💓💖💓💓💖💖💓
@@SharingtheRoadYes at that time. However, since then I have visited. It was amazing! I didn't see the changing of the guards but went inside with a tour.
Chicos gracias por el video y por promocionar nuestra hermosa Lima! pero siento que les faltó mayor información historica y turística para hacer el video. Barranco no solo es hermoso por sus cafés y la vista del océanohay que investigar más.
Hey again! 👋 We responded to your message on the Machu Picchu video with a suggestion to book a trip through a tour company. I hope this can help you out! It definitely takes a lot of the pressure off trip planning 😊

LOVED YOUR VIDEO !!! IT HELPED ME A LOT TO COMPLETE MY BUCKET LIST FOR MY LIMA TRIP - YOU BOTH ARE GORGEOUS AND YOUR BF ITS A VERSION OF MARK SUCKERBERG BUT TALLER AND HANDSOM-ER...LOL. CONGRATS !!!
Thanks for this. Questions: No shower for 3 days? Did you hike it back or did you take the bus? Did you carry your luggage with you at all times? Thanks
Hi! We spent just under 3 days in Lima, which we felt was just enough to see everything. We tend to run around a-lot, so if you're looking for a more relaxing trip, maybe consider adding an extra day or two. Being such a large city, theres tons to do! :)
You're going to LOVE your time there, that sounds AMAZING! We were fine knowing minimal spanish. We had google translate downloaded on our phones if we needed help in a pinch, but honestly felt we were able to get around pretty well!
Hi! It really depends on what you're looking to do, and how you like to travel. You could probably spend 2-4 days seeing most of what we covered in the video, but if you stay longer, you'll have more time to wander and enjoy the areas without running around so much. Theres tons to see in Lima and you could probably stay much longer too if you're a city person (not to mention the food in Lima and all of Peru is AMAZING). Are you planning a trip to Lima in the near future?
Hi, thanks for your video. I am considering a trip to Lima and think I would be staying in the Miraflores district. Because of my hotel points, I think I would stay in the same hotel for 6-7 nights and take a couple tours. How do you suggest getting around Lima? We aren't afraid to walk but I realize it is a big city. Thanks!
Wow! You’re going to have such a great trip! Lima is an incredible city. We stayed in Miraflores during our visit, and felt it was the perfect spot for a home base. The walkway there is so perfect for morning/evening walks and it’s a vibrant area. Uber is affordable in Lima, and is how we traveled to other areas of the city (such as the historical district and Barranco district). We like uber because you know your price before you even step into the car, so you’re less likely to get uncharged for being a tourist in a regular taxi. We hope you have a wonderful time!
Hi, did it feel safe there? Was it safe to walk around or were there any ropey situations? Am spending a day or 2 there with my girlfriend and have read quite a lot of negative reports into the general safety of Lima. Of course in any city it pays to be sensible and aware of your surroundings but I want to at least know it’s possible to leave the hotel and visit some of these spots without constant fear!
Hi! We loved our time in Lima, and felt safe when we were there. The Miraflores district is well maintained, and we felt safe running out in the early night/evening for groceries, to catch a sunset, and such. In the old-town, we felt the Barrio Chino area was a little hectic, where we felt like we should be more weary of being pickpocketed, but never felt unsafe. The Plazza del Armas has tons of security, so that area felt safe as well. We hope you have a great trip, let us know if there is anything else we can do to help!
Protest are just in downtown but not too many people, they are just lazy people asking for money to protest and get free bonuses.. majority in Peru do not support them.
You're going to LOVE Lima, there is so much to do. And it really depends on what you want to see. You could probably see most the attractions in this video in 2-4 days, though in a city as big as Lima you could easily fill it with many more days as well. Is there anywhere else you're looking to travel to during those 2.5 weeks?
@Sharing the Road thank you for the response. After staying for a few days in Lima, we are planning to visit Cusco and around. We are going to take your suggestion and stay overnight in Aguas Calientes. where we can purchase train tickets to Machu Picchu?
@@karinochka72 Sounds like an amazing trip! :) Cusco is such a magical city, and I think thats a great itinerary. You should buy your train tickets online in advance though before your trip to make sure there are available trains from Cusco to Aguas Calientes. Best of luck, and we hope it's a great trip!
Nice video and tips. I'm a petite girl traveling with no partner. Is it safe to take pictures with my Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra? Also, is taking taxi alone safe in Lima? TIA
Hi! We never felt in danger when traveling Lima, with the Miraflores area feeling very safe and lively to stay in. With any city, be sure to keep your wits about you, consider avoiding traveling at night, and such. We traveled with similar smartphones, and had no issues. We used Uber in Lima, where you can share your live location with your family, and felt this was a safe option. We loved our time in Lima and hope you have an amazing trip! Let us know if there is anything else we can help with! -Michael

As a Peruvian I thank you guys for such a great job you've done by putting all this together. One of the best Lima's videos on UA-cam!
Thanks for your videos. We just got back from Peru. We used your videos as a guide on what to do and see while in Lima and Cusco.
For Lima, the only places we didn't really get to experience was the Plaza de Armas, Moorish Palace and the Bridge of Sighs.

Historic Center of Lima and its Plaza Mayor is so epic 👍

Yes. Reminds me of Rome!
It's beautiful, but you have to be careful. You could easily get robbed at any moment if you aren't paying attention.

This bridge was one of the inspiration for a local song, very famous and beautiful singed by Chabuca Granda.
Another beautiful place you should visit while in Lima is Parque de las Aguas,
Agreed, just beautiful, particularly in the evening when the lights come on.

Very smart advice! Thanks! 🇵🇪❤
a nautical mile is about 2,025 yards. its used to measure distance at sea

Hi. We are going to Peru in October and how do you think, is it necessary to vaccinate? I mean not covid, but vaccins like Cholera etc.
When was this filmed ? I heard there are protests currently in Lima
Hi! We filmed this in May!
Protest are just in downtown but not too many people, they are just lazy people asking for money to protest and get free bonuses.. majority in Peru do not support them.
Would this be a good father son trip with a teenager?
I went to Peru awhile back when I was 18. I am now 34…I want to go back because I absolutely loved going. It was an amazing trip!
