Sorta, we have cats and dogs running out in the streets but is mainly because people are careless and they don’t take care of them or they let them go and some others well they feed them and keep them out in the street so they become the barrio’s pet
man, this brings nostalgia to me...I walked these streets many times during my time living in Miraflores in 2014-2015... I was 24 and my experience was life changing...watching this video it is as if I'm discovering it all again for the first time. very cool. good job
Thanks for your comment. I do think it has changed but not too much. There are some different restaurants/bars than before but many of the same are still there. It will be interesting to see what the new 10 years holds as change is inevitable. cheers.@@s34nTravels
Excellent, super detailed video of Miraflores! 👍 Very detailed and very helpful for tourists. "Only can food, tuna" hahaha, it is because Peruvians eat FRESH food 😊, fresh bread, fresh fruit. Thank you so much "....." I will check your other videos, like, and share. Hugs from Idaho 🌷🤗
You should try Restaurante Cordano in Lima. They have excellent ceviche. I was just there Saturday. Also, the way people drive here is crazy. It’s like they’re playing a driving game.
Thank you for the video. I was born in Peru but raised in the USA, so I don't remember anything about Peru, to be honest. Appreciate the video since it's close to where my mother bought an apartment (10 mins) recently for when she visits. I plan on going there in the future, so this was a nice watch. Even though I am Peruvian, I would feel like a tourist since I haven't been there for around 2 decades and I don't really understand the culture. Great virtual tour, I will subscribe.
Thanks for watching! That's pretty cool! I have had a few people comment on my videos that are in a similar situation as you! (Born in Peru, but grew up in US or Europe). I definitely recommend visiting and exploring your heritage!
Great tour. I'm a fellow Brit who lives in Lima too. Those Donofrio vendors drive me insane with their little horns that they blast persistently and annoyingly haha other than that Lima is great!
@@s34nTravels Yeah me too. I thought I was alone seeing all the people buying from them and funding their enterprise 😂 Anyways, great video. I never even noticed that little arcade before!
Sorry guys, but those ice cream vendors are one of the pilars of peruvian culture 😂 they will never go away. That's how many peruvians make a living. Actually, they bring happy memories of my childhood.
yeah and the sound is a distinctive sound, it means DONOFRIO, it is patented too... maybe it annoys you but for Peruvians is like a treasure too have it still going on nowadays
I don't understand why this channel isn't more popular. It has descriptive content, long videos and an accurate tour of how the country actually is. We all know you deserve a raise Sean, keep up the good work!
Thank you! 😊 It's hard these days with short form content catering for shorter attention spans, but for anybody that enjoys long videos, I'm always here! haha!
¡No podría estar más de acuerdo! jaja ¡Pero vale la pena el intercambio! Supongo que todas las ciudades tienen sus puntos negativos. ¡Pero tener un carril bici bonito de Miraflores a Lima Centro ayuda mucho!
Estimado te fuiste por la calle de las pizzas y esos no son restaurantes exclusivos, son restaurantes normales, solo bien decorados, los exclusivos están en otra parte, aquellos que son reconocidos a nivel mundial como el Restaurant: CENTRAL DE GASTON ACURIO , MAYTA entre otros...disculpa pero es así soy Peruana
You've got a new subscriber. THANKS for the video. Very nice discovery. I lived 15 years in Miraflores before, somewhere between the Huaca Pucllana and the Parque Kennedy. Both have got lots of changes over the years. Now when I go back, although I'm not living in Miraflores anymore, I'm there every other day. I'll try Bembo's next time!
Thank you! 😁 I wouldn't say you're missing too much with Bembos, but all the young ones seem to love it!! A lot of people have said the same thing to me, with all the changes! Especially Miraflores and some of the places down Arequipa avenue! I have a video running down Arequipa avenue to Lince and into Lima Central from Miraflores, so maybe you can see if that has changed much too! ua-cam.com/video/3Ch69j4n4ZQ/v-deo.html
Peru, 🇵🇪 also known as the millennial country of CULTURAL DIVERSITY and 5,000 flavors. And currently with the best restaurant in the world "Central" by Virgilio Martinez. It is the only country in the world with at least 8 types of cuisine: Creole, Marine, Andean, Amazonian, Nikkei, Chifa, Vegetarian and Haute cuisine. And CEVICHE is part of the Marine cuisine of Peru. According to the Guines Record, Peru has the record of 491 typical dishes, thus becoming the country with the largest number of typical dishes in the world. It also has 2,500 native soups, 250 desserts and more than 3,000 varieties of potatoes. We can feel proud that God has blessed us with a gastronomy that is unique in the world. 🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
Cuando una persona viaja y conoce Esas ciudades no es usual ver gente diciendo " tienes que conocer Lima", es ridículo y acomplejado, los turistas irán dónde les parezca más interesante o les alcance el presupuesto. Ya cansa leer provincianitos todo el tiempo diciendo que Lima es así o asa , a nosotros limeños nos parece excelente que vayan por todo el País y no estamos reclamando que no quieran visitar nuestra ciudad. Ya basta de complejos .
I wish I could! but unfortunately I'm probably leaving soon and I need a tour guide license to do that... This video (and the other one I linked below) shows pretty much all of Miraflores, so you have that suburb covered at least! :)
¡Hay tantas gemas escondidas en Lima! ¡Muchas historias y secretos no contados! No pude encontrar algunas cosas en Internet, ¡tengo que estar aquí para explorarlas y verlas por mí mismo! ¡Los viejos están llenos de historias y sabiduría! También me impresionó mucho la ética de trabajo de la gente, ¡trabajan muy duro y se quejan muy poco!
Wong Supermarket is kind of expensive, pretty much like a Whole Foods Supermarket or Zabar's here in New York actually here is very expensive if you like cheese, fish, red meats, and others goodies, in Peru you have many options if you running out of money 💰, if they offers you something in the marketplace in spanish you can say (gracias solo estoy de paso o mirando) (just looking around), for that kind of food with a beautiful view in New York it will cost you up to 200 dollars or more expensive, anyways, thanks for the long walk video 👍
Thank you for watching and sharing! :) I have visited NY a few times, I remember Zabar's! :) Yes, I definitely need to work on my Spanish, but getting there slowly! haha! I'll remember that one!
Olvide que el Distrito de Surco donde esta Monterrico es muy grande fácil 10 veces + que Miraf Así para que lo tengas Claro lo más Recidencial de lima Peru es: Las Casuarinas: con residencias de 5mil a 10mil m2 sobre un cerro más grande que Holiwood cercado con Seguridsd las 24hrs imposible grabar!! En 2do lugar está Chacarilla también en Monterrico ahí hay incluso uno Moll.pequeño??
Thank you! :) I have been to both places. They don't allow filming at the catacombs at San Francisco church in Lima, but I added a little bit in my Lima video... I didn't include it in my Miraflores video, you should check it out! The racetrack was fun, but im from the UK and we have those everywhere, so I didn't really think of doing a video here haha! thanks for watching! :)
I thought about that, but I don't think that is the reason. I still find this really weird. Mainly because fish is freely available, pretty much everywhere; yet, tuna is plentiful in cans. I'm thinking it's maybe something else entirely to be honest. If this was the reason, then it doesn't explain why pinto beans in tomato sauce (one can I see that isnt tuna) are imported from the US and up-charged to almost 10-12 soles.
Only cans for tuna. Its because in Peru everything grows all year round, soo there is no need to get it canned. Most also like to cook from scratch to get the full flavor. No microwave foods either
Yeah. It just seems like a weird cultural difference. In the UK and US, the poor or lazy people eat from cans because its cheaper. Here, it seems the opposite.
Hi, i was actually going to be going to Peru long term next year. What neighborhood was your apartment in? Is there a way to reach out to you to get more info on this? Im in the US. Great video btw!
01:10:20 Update: Personal opinion, I no longer recommend MANGOES (or their sister restaurant upstairs) It's not uncommon for employees to work 55-60 hour work weeks and have to sleep in the kitchen/restaurant due to living so far away.

No tenemos muchas latas de comida porque en Peru se come fresco y tambien el pan que dura mucho o embasado es mas caro porque todo lo que tiene preservantes es mas caro, si compras pan fresco todos los dias es mas barato, es raro si, pero en Peru lo embasado normalmente es mas caro.
So Miraflores is just a big metropolitan city, very Westernized? I’m looking for a traditional Peruvian culture. I think I’ll stay in Historical Center of Peru. Thanks for this video.
Visiting March 3rd. Would you think it’s safe to visit at that time ? I know with the protest and stuff makes me a bit skeptical but would love to know your input thanks !
It’ll be ok… The native uprising has been more or less crushed once again, and things are returning to normal. Going to Machu Pichu might still be risky, as it is so easy to trap tourists there and make international news. But everything else is back to normal.
There are lot french in Peru cause in France you graduate going to other places to study. Some of them go to southamerica because the mouth to mouth (parties, people, cheap stuffs, etc) and that Is the reason of creperies in Miraflores and the people like it. I was study in university with 30% frechies and was awesome to know other culture and other point of view in the classroom
En realidad no es raro que no haya mucha comiida enlatada, lo que sucede es que a la gente le gusta comer con ingredientes frescos que no tengan mucho o nada de procesamiento, lo unico que tiene mas salida es la lata de atun pero otro tipo de comida se les queda, el sabor no es igual, esa es la explicación
It's interesting. I'm not too sure though. I wonder if it's also because there isn't a canning facility nearby? Because the cans are usually imports and with added tax, it makes it too expensive for most things. Other countries enjoy eating fresh, but cans are available for those people who dont have the time/skill/ability to always cook or buy fresh. They are also good for roadtripping, quick meals with a long shelf life. Thats why I doubt that it's solely for this reason. If cans were available, I think people would buy them.
@@s34nTravelshace un tiempo atrás trataron de introducir estos alimentos enlatados pero fue un fracaso, el sabor es muy diferente y la gente se resiste, ahí verás los productos empolvarse en los anaqueles sin que casi salga, por eso no es rentable su venta, habrás notado en Perú que si hay algo que le gusta al peruano es comer rico, no importa sacrificar tiempo para proveerse de insumos frescos o poco procesados si con ello lo consigue, ya es un modo de vida y está incorporado ese tiempo a su rutina
@@nataliab.5591 When did that happen? Do you have a source? I would be interested to see! Generally: Many poor families buy canned foods in the UK as fresh foods are more expensive. Single men use them a lot too as they cannot cook 😆 and I see them a lot used by hikers, campers, trekkers and people like that. Carrying fresh food on a multi-day hiking trip isn't a great idea. I'm wondering what the alternative of those would be. (apart from the first, as I find fresh things much cheaper in Peru, which is great)
@@s34nTravels I think is not only about cultural preferences, but also about the availability of fresh ingredients in the country. Agriculture in Peru is a very important activity that not only provides food to its population, but also for exports. There is a wide variety of fresh produce that makes cooking at home a lot more affordable than eating out at fast food restaurants. Peru doesn't need to rely on imported meats, fruits, or vegetables like other countries like the US. That's why poor people choose to cook at home to save money rather than eating canned or fast food, which are already processed and therefore, more expensive.
Hi I came across your vlog from Peru, we are planning to travel in may but not sure if now if the good time to travel or no? There is some emergency situation going on I heard, can you suggest me what should we do?
The Local food its made and offer to Locals ,If you a visitor and chose to try it ,its up to you ,stop criticising about the quality the Local ways to do things!
@@s34nTravels WOW!!! Thanks for the feedback. What is Surquillo? Is that the neighborhood? Practicing my Spanish and back following your vids. Are you still there?
I went to Quito, Ecuador in December and they also have crepe shops set up everywhere. A friend I made down there said that it is just a popular food that is trending there right now, so maybe it is the same in Lima! They were really good!
That's interesting to hear! It must be a new trend at the moment here! I remember we started seeing them in the UK in maybe 2003, then they started stuffing them with hot food (Like a crepe burrito lol)
thanks, I think youre funny and the video is interesting! Is lima or Mexico City better to live and travel for two years? I like the fact that lima has the sea, but if there is never sun maybe Mexico City is better... idk... what do you think? Is the air fresh in lima or is there a lot of smog?
Thanks for watching!! :) oh wow, that's a tough one! Well Lima never has any rain! So there's that! (Good or bad, I'm not sure!) and like you said, the ocean is near by! There is plenty of sun! I made a video on public transport in Lima, maybe you wanna check that out! The traffic is diabolical! haha! or least the drivers are! I don't think there is too much smog in my opinion though, most of the cars now run on LPG (not gasoline) through a government scheme to convert all the cars away from gasoline. I cannot comment on Mexico city, I have been to different cities in Mexico, but no Mexico City!
THANK YOU so much! I have a job offer. in lima for February 2024... I will watch all your videos now and then later decide which city I will choose... Heard of the traffic - omg ... no smog is amazing! thanks!@@s34nTravels
I am an American and I have lived in Miraflores sin 2009. There are actually several parks in the park at the opening of the video. The main park is PARK KENNEDY, named after JFK. Everyone refers to the entire park as Park Kennedy (not Kennedy park or Central park)
I've been in San Miguel for three months, will be in Barranco for one month before going home to Canada for the summer, and Im looking for people that speak english to hangout with. Im slowly learning spanish but it is hard to understand.
It kinda looked like meat! 👀😆 In the UK, we pretty much have everything. Organs and things like tripe are harder to find these days, but a local butcher will sell them. But I don't know of a place that sells cooked blood 😬😆 Lesson learned! It was tasty though!... i think!
This guy gives a great tour.. Looks like a very nice city.... I don't see any beautiful women though.. After living in Japan you can walk down the street anytime and get whiplash.. You see beautiful girls about every 3 minutes.. Everywhere.. Some places obviously better than others.. All the girls must have left.. In some countries only the senior citizens are left.
Thank you! Miraflores is mostly full of tourists, but the workers and staff are locals. I made a video of central Lima, that would probably give a better indication if that's your thing!
I think people in Peru are not big cause the majority don’t own a car. Here in the USA we have to drive everywhere, walking places it’s not part of our routine :(
Good evening, I am writing this comment because some time ago someone told me what was the reason behind the short stature in a good part of the Peruvian population (being Peruvian). It is the result of an adaptation of the human body for the terrain that exists in the height of the country, the so-called “Cerros”, because people had to go up and down hills constantly, an activity that wears the human body a lot, the legs became shorter to facilitate this activity, but consequently low our average height.
@@faqks3359 I don’t think walking is the reason for being short… I think our genetics are the reason. But there’s a story about the Incas being taller than the Spanish conquers. Even if you go to Cuzco all the steps to go to the ruins are very high kind of hard to climb.
I did around an hour of research on the internet because I was curious.... People living at high elevations tend to be smaller, due to evolutionary adaptation (scarcity of food), same with the Nepalese for example. Scientists also found a gene variant in Peruvian people associated with height. There was also a study of people from Nepal which was found that the locals have high‐altitude genetic adaptation; making for easy living and climbing at high altitudes. It all makes sense really. Interesting stuff! (RE: comment below: The Spanish were actually taller on average, but not by much.)

You take my dog and we have serious problem🤬
Soooo I actually have 2 for adoption you can take them! lol
I love that thing about cat culture in Peru. Cats seem to be everywhere
En Chincha 😋
Only in that particular park 😁
Sorta, we have cats and dogs running out in the streets but is mainly because people are careless and they don’t take care of them or they let them go and some others well they feed them and keep them out in the street so they become the barrio’s pet
It was not intentional, and they are only in that particular park not everywhere
Excellent video. I am travelling to Peru from the UK in April so thank you for showing the best of Peru.
Hope you enjoy it!
Caminar por Lima cuando la neblina es abundante es hermoso. Gracias por hacerme recordar mi Lima .
¡De nada! Gracias por ver :)

Visit Trujillo, it is close to Lima and it is spectacular
Opciones buenas la Sierra: Arequipa, Huancayo, Cajamarca.
Opciones en selva: Iquitos, Pucallpa.
Bonita ciudad 🌆😊

Awesome vide !!! Next time go to monterrico racetrack and the catacombs at San Francisco church in Lima
Thank you! :)
I have been to both places. They don't allow filming at the catacombs at San Francisco church in Lima, but I added a little bit in my Lima video... I didn't include it in my Miraflores video, you should check it out!
The racetrack was fun, but im from the UK and we have those everywhere, so I didn't really think of doing a video here haha!
thanks for watching! :)
Welcome to Peru
Thank you! ♥😊
Nice video
Thanks! 😁

Few canned food because people cook at home, eat at restaurants and most foods are made from scratch.
I thought about that, but I don't think that is the reason. I still find this really weird. Mainly because fish is freely available, pretty much everywhere; yet, tuna is plentiful in cans. I'm thinking it's maybe something else entirely to be honest.

wow! There's a sight for sore eyes! 😆 That's great! The seasons have been really strange this year!
Jajajjaaja, la carambola se usa para hacer jugo y si está helado mejor, jaajaa
😂😂😂
I didn't think you'd eat the star fruit like that. I thought you would make a juice. 😵😆
😆😆😆
Boy those were sourrrr!!
I was educated shortly afterwards and it was put into the blender. 🫡😆
So Miraflores is just a big metropolitan city, very Westernized? I’m looking for a traditional Peruvian culture. I think I’ll stay in Historical Center of Peru. Thanks for this video.
Westernized? Peru is in the western hemisphere, you fool.
Visiting March 3rd. Would you think it’s safe to visit at that time ? I know with the protest and stuff makes me a bit skeptical but would love to know your input thanks !
It’ll be ok… The native uprising has been more or less crushed once again, and things are returning to normal. Going to Machu Pichu might still be risky, as it is so easy to trap tourists there and make international news. But everything else is back to normal.
Lima... Yeah sure! It's pretty good now
There are lot french in Peru cause in France you graduate going to other places to study. Some of them go to southamerica because the mouth to mouth (parties, people, cheap stuffs, etc) and that Is the reason of creperies in Miraflores and the people like it. I was study in university with 30% frechies and was awesome to know other culture and other point of view in the classroom
That's very interesting! Thank you for sharing :)
En realidad no es raro que no haya mucha comiida enlatada, lo que sucede es que a la gente le gusta comer con ingredientes frescos que no tengan mucho o nada de procesamiento, lo unico que tiene mas salida es la lata de atun pero otro tipo de comida se les queda, el sabor no es igual, esa es la explicación
It's interesting. I'm not too sure though. I wonder if it's also because there isn't a canning facility nearby? Because the cans are usually imports and with added tax, it makes it too expensive for most things.
Other countries enjoy eating fresh, but cans are available for those people who dont have the time/skill/ability to always cook or buy fresh. They are also good for roadtripping, quick meals with a long shelf life. Thats why I doubt that it's solely for this reason.
If cans were available, I think people would buy them.
@@s34nTravelshace un tiempo atrás trataron de introducir estos alimentos enlatados pero fue un fracaso, el sabor es muy diferente y la gente se resiste, ahí verás los productos empolvarse en los anaqueles sin que casi salga, por eso no es rentable su venta, habrás notado en Perú que si hay algo que le gusta al peruano es comer rico, no importa sacrificar tiempo para proveerse de insumos frescos o poco procesados si con ello lo consigue, ya es un modo de vida y está incorporado ese tiempo a su rutina
@@nataliab.5591 When did that happen? Do you have a source? I would be interested to see!
Generally:
Many poor families buy canned foods in the UK as fresh foods are more expensive.
Single men use them a lot too as they cannot cook 😆
and I see them a lot used by hikers, campers, trekkers and people like that. Carrying fresh food on a multi-day hiking trip isn't a great idea.
I'm wondering what the alternative of those would be. (apart from the first, as I find fresh things much cheaper in Peru, which is great)
@@s34nTravels I think is not only about cultural preferences, but also about the availability of fresh ingredients in the country. Agriculture in Peru is a very important activity that not only provides food to its population, but also for exports. There is a wide variety of fresh produce that makes cooking at home a lot more affordable than eating out at fast food restaurants. Peru doesn't need to rely on imported meats, fruits, or vegetables like other countries like the US. That's why poor people choose to cook at home to save money rather than eating canned or fast food, which are already processed and therefore, more expensive.
Hi I came across your vlog from Peru, we are planning to travel in may but not sure if now if the good time to travel or no?
There is some emergency situation going on I heard, can you suggest me what should we do?
I posted 2 videos on that already, check them out :)
Te falto! LARCOMAR Y PARQUE BICENTENARIO
The Local food its made and offer to Locals ,If you a visitor and chose to try it ,its up to you ,stop criticising about the quality the Local ways to do things!
I dont understand why every comment you type is negative lol, your friends must hate you 😆 dont be such a debbie downer!
Love the walking tour!! How did you find your $150 dollar apartment. Did you use a agent? I know this is an old video. But it still can be reverent:
Thank you! :)
I just walked around Surquillo and found a note in a window, called the number, then I had an apartment :)
@@s34nTravels WOW!!! Thanks for the feedback. What is Surquillo? Is that the neighborhood? Practicing my Spanish and back following your vids. Are you still there?
I went to Quito, Ecuador in December and they also have crepe shops set up everywhere. A friend I made down there said that it is just a popular food that is trending there right now, so maybe it is the same in Lima! They were really good!
That's interesting to hear! It must be a new trend at the moment here!
I remember we started seeing them in the UK in maybe 2003, then they started stuffing them with hot food (Like a crepe burrito lol)
Olvide decirte que el distrito de San Isidro a max 2km hY otra huaca Inca sería bueno visites??
I visited another one at Lima Zoo, it was pretty interesting! There are so many around the area, but I really liked this one! :)
En Lima hay muchas huacas,
En la plaza de la bandera hay una, en Los Olivos hay varias, en San Miguel también, etc, etc.
How about Lucuma ice cream? Have you tried it?
Yes! I love it!! How about you?
Q rico 😋🤤🤤😋 a comer saludos al canal to welcome a Perú 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪😊
Thank you for watching!! I'm glad you liked the video! More to come! 😊😊😊😊
Great video with so much information! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏❤️🇵🇪🇺🇸
Glad it was helpful! 🔥🔥😊😊
thanks, I think youre funny and the video is interesting! Is lima or Mexico City better to live and travel for two years? I like the fact that lima has the sea, but if there is never sun maybe Mexico City is better... idk... what do you think? Is the air fresh in lima or is there a lot of smog?
Thanks for watching!! :) oh wow, that's a tough one!
Well Lima never has any rain! So there's that! (Good or bad, I'm not sure!) and like you said, the ocean is near by! There is plenty of sun! I made a video on public transport in Lima, maybe you wanna check that out! The traffic is diabolical! haha! or least the drivers are! I don't think there is too much smog in my opinion though, most of the cars now run on LPG (not gasoline) through a government scheme to convert all the cars away from gasoline.
I cannot comment on Mexico city, I have been to different cities in Mexico, but no Mexico City!
THANK YOU so much! I have
a job offer. in lima for February 2024... I will watch all your videos now and then later decide which city I will choose... Heard of the traffic - omg ... no smog is amazing!
thanks!@@s34nTravels
Excellent video. Please can you let me know where you stayed? I am goin in December and looking for a low price air bnb with 2 bedrooms. Thanks
Have a good trip! ☺️
No idea about Airbnb stuff, sorry
I am an American and I have lived in Miraflores sin 2009. There are actually several parks in the park at the opening of the video. The main park is PARK KENNEDY, named after JFK. Everyone refers to the entire park as Park Kennedy (not Kennedy park or Central park)
A little pedantic don't you think? Haha! 😆
Peruvians are also Americans , because is a name of of the continent. Dont forget . America is a continent. North and south .
Bembos is so better than Mcdonals for real.
Agreed! 💯💯
I've been in San Miguel for three months, will be in Barranco for one month before going home to Canada for the summer, and Im looking for people that speak english to hangout with. Im slowly learning spanish but it is hard to understand.
That's great! Barranco is pretty touristy, you won't have too much trouble finding English speakers there. Hope you have a good time out here!
people do prefer to make their own beans
Peruvian never use beans or vegetable in cans, we tried to use fresh ones.
lol your girlfriend just passed by you when you enter by the Inca Market
she was drinking a bottle of water wearing a red shirt
haha nice one!
Te recomiendo los Inka Chips son mas ricos y saludables
¡Me gustan mucho las fichas Inka! Es uno de mis chips favoritos allí. Esos y Doritos morados jaja!
lol how can you confuse meat with chicken's blood lol, what kind of meat they have in the UK. Hopefully you had a safe trip in Peru.
It kinda looked like meat! 👀😆
In the UK, we pretty much have everything. Organs and things like tripe are harder to find these days, but a local butcher will sell them. But I don't know of a place that sells cooked blood 😬😆 Lesson learned! It was tasty though!... i think!
Oh, btw, where are you getting 4 soles for a dollar?
Cuanto tiempo llevas en peru ? Dentro de poco sacarás tu carne de extranjería !!
6 months!
Chicken blood? Haha maybe was a joke. I'm peruvian and i've never tried chicken blood xd
Nice video, greetings from Arequipa.
It's called sangrecita! Google it! haha! It tasted pretty good!
Greetings and thanks for watching! :)
@@s34nTravels I tried "sangrecita"; indeed taste good...just don't think about it! Hahahaha 🌷
@@lili.h1813 haha! That's the secret!😆 Thanks for watching!! 😁
This guy gives a great tour.. Looks like a very nice city.... I don't see any beautiful women though.. After living in Japan you can walk down the street anytime and get whiplash.. You see beautiful girls about every 3 minutes.. Everywhere.. Some places obviously better than others.. All the girls must have left.. In some countries only the senior citizens are left.
Thank you!
Miraflores is mostly full of tourists, but the workers and staff are locals. I made a video of central Lima, that would probably give a better indication if that's your thing!
1:2 turismo noturno
yes yes!
Why is not recomendable the bar AB Restobar?
The owner of the bar stole my phone!

I think people in Peru are not big cause the majority don’t own a car. Here in the USA we have to drive everywhere, walking places it’s not part of our routine :(
Good evening, I am writing this comment because some time ago someone told me what was the reason behind the short stature in a good part of the Peruvian population (being Peruvian).
It is the result of an adaptation of the human body for the terrain that exists in the height of the country, the so-called “Cerros”, because people had to go up and down hills constantly, an activity that wears the human body a lot, the legs became shorter to facilitate this activity, but consequently low our average height.
@@faqks3359 I don’t think walking is the reason for being short… I think our genetics are the reason. But there’s a story about the Incas being taller than the Spanish conquers. Even if you go to Cuzco all the steps to go to the ruins are very high kind of hard to climb.
In Perù there are tall, short, medium, blonde, black, white, asian, indians and mixed race person.
I did around an hour of research on the internet because I was curious.... People living at high elevations tend to be smaller, due to evolutionary adaptation (scarcity of food), same with the Nepalese for example. Scientists also found a gene variant in Peruvian people associated with height. There was also a study of people from Nepal which was found that the locals have high‐altitude genetic adaptation; making for easy living and climbing at high altitudes. It all makes sense really. Interesting stuff!
(RE: comment below: The Spanish were actually taller on average, but not by much.)
@@s34nTravels thank you for the information :)
Be careful To All, Many places or eatery's ARE Not healthy, some places Smell disgusting 🙏👌
I think if something smells bad, we all usually walk away, no? 😆
