Best Place to Stay in Lima? | Miraflores Vs. Barranco
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 жов 2022
- Whether you're just stopping by on a connecting flight to visit Machu Picchu or looking to explore Peru's beautiful coastal capital of Lima, you'll likely have a big decision ahead of you. Should I stay in Miraflores or Barranco? These two beautiful neighborhoods are right next to each other but each has its own unique vibes (and most importantly price points)! We stayed for a week in both to finally settle this battle of the barrios!

I'm Peruvian. I was born in Barranco. I currently live in Europe for more than 20 years. Every time I see videos of Lima, especially Barranco, it makes me want to cry. I miss my city a lot, I miss my Barranco neighborhood. I am glad that you like my neighbourhood.
Awe! I feel the same whenever I see something related to hometown. It is sad but beautiful because it means you had great loving memories in that place :) We truly lilked Barranco a lot, it has a lot of charm and the people were very welcoming!
IT'S SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!
First to comment. I think this country needs to be added to the list.❤
Yes! You should visit!
Hello , I was born in Lima. I invite you tu visit another district as Magdalena del Mar, in Lima. Cheaper prices and a family vibe in front of the ocean. The Mercado is so rich in culture and food. Thanks for reading my words
Gracias for the recommendation! We'll be sure to visit next time, sounds awesome!
I have lived in Miraflores since 2009 (and I plan on staying). It is a great place to live; however expensive by Peru standards; however (again) much, much less expensive than my previous locations (Tokyo) and before that San Francisco. In my opinion - Barranco is a nice half-day visit whereas Miraflores has much more to offer, as you noted.
Nice omg Lima Peru I will put in my list
To me there are two different districts, Miraflores is a modern barrio and on the other side Barranco still keeps houses of almost 150 years. I enjoyed both of them. Wish there were more barrios near the ocean like both. Great video guys 👍🏻
Agree! we enjoyed both as well!
Welcome to Peru, guys, welcome to eat, tiger's milk, black oysters, pescado a lo macho, (macho fish), tiraditos, arroz con mariscos, and the fabulous many ceviches, don't forget to pollo a la braza Norkys, y anticuchos rústica, and many many more great dishes, enjoy Lima,... greetings from usa,.....
The food in Peru is the best!!!
Barranco ❤❤
Thanks for visiting Peru, I hope you enjoyed your stay, Lima is much better in summer time, maybe next time. Cool video guys.
Good videos guys, next visit try summer time, with sunshine Lima feels happier and you can stay in beach towns close to Lima like San Bartolo and Punta Hermosa where you also find hotels, there is restaurants and some night life too. Hasta la vista !
Gracias for those recommendations! We need to visit during Summer!
En verano el sunset es hermoso en Miraflores 👍🏻😉
HOLA CHICOS. BIEN VENIDOS A PERÚ, TODO LO QUÉ SE COME ES MUY RICO, CAPITAL DE LA GASTRANOMIA, DISFRUTEN SU ESTADÍA LES MANDO UN BESO.
Muy de acuerdo!!! Gracias!
Next time, San Isidro ❤
Noted for our next visit! :)
Gracias por visitar mi país.
Great observations. Glad you had a good time in my birth country. I'm looking forward to spending much more time there once in retire next year. The $28/night airbnb price gives you good indication on how much more you get for your hard earned dollar down there.
You have other options like Magdalena, Lince , Santa Beatriz, Surco, San Borja, Jesus Maria, San Isidro ...
Next time! :)
Thanks for the comparison of these two great cities. I will definitely visit both soon.
Folks Great Video 🤘🙌 Thanks for Loving our Peruvian Culture and heritage ! Pretty Please send information about the AIRBNB contact. Apt. looks perfect for a couple.
Thanks Stay Fabulous 🔥🎥
Thank you! You can find the airbnb listing as: "Loft estreno con piscina y vista jardines del MAC" enjoy!
Yes....I'd like to know thus aa well.
I really enjoyed your video, it’s my first time in your channel. You are ver knowledgeable and kind couple🎉
Thank you and welcome!!
Miraflores for sure
Could you post the link to your studio apartment you stayed in Barranco?
The town of Barranco (Ravine) is older, and more bohemian than Miraflores (Look-flowers). Miraflores is a more commercial, middle-class area. Miraflores is not really a wealthy residential area like La Molina, Monterrico, San Isidro, or the gated towns of La Planicie, or Las Casuarinas, which are affluent. Downtown Lima, is older than Barranco, and older neighborhoods, which are now dangerous areas are Rimac, where the San Cristobal hill is located, and Barrios Altos, which have two older historical famous Peruvian cemeteries. These areas start it in the 1500s, and had its best years during the Viceroyalty of Peru in the 1600s, and 1700s.
me encanto su videeoo
I recomend to You to taste ceviche at Punto Azul restaurant in Miraflores, and drink a glass of popular drink chilcano de pisco in traditional Bolívar Hotel (second floor) on Plaza San Martin (historic Center).
I love it ( peru)
the 1st pisco sour makes you fall in love, the 2nd conquers you and the 3rd betrays you.
😂😂😂 great description!
i like miraflores
Nice place.
I want be there soon
Guys, where did you stay in barraco any info please?
Are most of the foods fried ? Were the people swimming with wet suits on, or bathingsuit swimming ? Thanks for good video, costs. /art.
Hi, thanks! I don't think most of the food in Peru is fried. They have a great variety. And yes, the people we saw swimming/surfing had wetsuits.
Seems much safer than Medellin
🇵🇪💪
Where did y'all stay or book the studio apartment?
Airbnb! It's in Barranco
Neither. San Isdiro should be your choice.
Linda pareja , Dios los bendiga .
:D
No dude Cuzco is not the ''real'' Peru, there are many Perus, and Cuzco is just one of this realities but its population just represents 1% of Peru's population, Lima instead has almost 35% of Peru population, sadly because of centralization and 1970's -80's terrorism. In addition Lima is very mixed (food, people, music, etc) and by far more ''modern'', crazy, dangerous, open-minded etc than Cuzco. Also Lima has a very coast-sea tradition, Cuzco instead is hilly/ ''andino'' (from the andes) and indigenous. Also I would say that you just visited a few part of Lima that along with other ''prosperous'' districts represents aprox just the 40% of a 12million city that is vibrant but also problematic. Nowadays you can find a lot of people that migrated from many parts of Peru and the biggest community of Venezuelans (around 1.5mill) in the world that its been imprinted other trait to Lima. Greeting and enjoy Cuzco!!!.
Lima la horrible, Es un libro del Sebastián Salazar Blondy, yo he vivido 20 años y no vuelvo ni que me pagen ni que me peguen
I am proud to be Peruvian, tengo orgullo de ser Peruano.
