Another friendly correction by me: its not cocaine leafs its coca leafs, the leaf itself is harmless it.has to go through a chemical process to.be turned into the drug, the leaf is used for candy and tea
I was going to write the same, well said! Cocaine isn't coca plant, a gr. of cocaine is nearly 50 kilos of coca leaves chemical reduced with gasoline and other kinds of stuff like that.

Nice video! You are right on tipping. What I would add is that it is best to tip in cash in Peru. Peruvian friends tell me that staff often don’t get tips left on a card.
Do not use Uber Pool in Lima (or any latin american city for that matter) because you can get mugged that way. Avoid the risk and get a normal Uber ride!
Uber in Lima is not recommended at all! They have gotten a really bad reputation. American people usually recommend Uber because it's "sinonym of app taxi", but here in Lima, Uber drivers have starred news due to thefts to passengers. Better take Beat, Cabify or Taxi Satelital.
I’m going on an educational trip next summer to Perú for my Spanish class (one of the places is Lima) and I’m very excited. This video really helped, thanks for the tips!
Rosa Arimborgo Gracias! Me encanta aprender sobre países que hablan español. Yo soy 50% Mexicano, pero nunca aprendí español. (Ahora yo aprendolo en escuela) Estoy muy contento/feliz que yo puedo ir a Lima Peru proximo año. Espero que tú puedes comprender este
Another good advice for tourists: You can relax in Miraflores, you´ll be safe. Don´t get too far from the crowded, open areas in Barranco and don´t go alone to Centro de Lima or the rest of the city.
FYI. i speak no Spanish. I have been to Peru three times and will be retuning later this year. Most merchants do not speak English. I deal with it and enjoy the country. it's not easy, but I get to enjoy the country of Peru because I face the fear! Get your passport and go! also check out Mancora, Peru. I just left there and might be moving there. So cool!!!
Good tips. 👍 Tipping is “optional”, but it is expected. 10% is a good tip. Locals tend to round up the bill amount, but tourists usually tip better. ;) Thank you for promoting Lima, Peru. Hope you make it to other regions of Peru. Lima is and is not Peru. Go figure. You’ll understand the more you travel throughout Peru. :)
Something you'd really really have to keep in mind is that most of Lima's streets, specially around the center of the city or in areas which are not just "fancy", are quite dangerous. Be careful with your stuff. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. I tell you this as a Peruvian. Most of Lima isn't a safe place, but still is quite amazing!
@@fernandahuaman6480 I know some areas are dangerous, but would it be safe to visit in day time? I am thinking like Cercado de Lima and Callao etc. I don’t want to stay in Miraflores and Barranco my whole stay.
Summer is nice but Lima Peru was build in a desert, means summer is very hot and humid tops most of the time 100%, humidity, most of the houses don’t use A/C, only hotels , restaurants , malls etc. , radiation (UV), is real high, in summer, I recommend go to Peru in spring time November, lots of sunshine, Not that hot yet, airfare are cheaper , because is out of high season. I’m from Peru , currently living in Florida , USA, , and definitely Florida’s summer is different than Lima.
The biggest mistake in Lima is to rush on to Cuzco and Machu Picchu, which are incredible, but add a few days to enjoy Lima. Las Brisas del Titcaca folkloric dance show is incredible.
JAJAJAJAJAJA estos peruanos todos cagados, la mejor comida de América es la mexicana además de que está preparada con ingredientes totalmente nacionales sabe bien, ni la francesa se le compara, la italiana y la mexicana son las mejores del mundo de hecho
1)Just get a prepaid chip for your phone for 10 dollars you get a month of some data and calls, and you can top it up for really cheap. 2) Most restaurants, ,malls and businesses do open on sundays, only really small clothing or shoe stores might be closed. 3) Obviously pisco is like whisky or vodka. Beer comes from similar ingredients of whisky, that doesn't mean they will have the same alcohol % 4) Lima doesn't have extreme temperatures. Winter can be as low as 13 or 14 celsius at night and 28 at summer, so A/C is not that common because people get by with a jacket or a sweater at most. The rest is pretty much spot on.
Good Video! and just to mention: To come to Peru best season is between April - September, despite coldest in Lima during this time (coast), because people also regularly wants to visit Cusco region and Machu Picchu and during these months is dry season (not rainy) in the Andes so is the best time to visit Peru. Remember not everyone can visit Peru 2 times :) Note 1: another mistake is keep visiting only fancy neighborhoods. You cant feel the real Lima and you can lose the chance to visit some famous and delicious "huariques" Note 2: perfect months to visit Peru: April (still nice weather in Lima (coast) and ending the rainy season in Cusco (andes) or September/October (rainy season has not started yet and cheaper than other months) .
I started the " binge watching " videos about 2 months ago. Now , after almost daily video watching of your channel , I am addicted and can't WAIT for the next videos you do. Waiting 1 or more WEEKS for a new video is hardddddd. LOL Thanks for what you do.
Alcohol is quite unexpensive here. You cannot buy alcohol starting from 11 pm to 5 am, but this is a delivery paradise. Just dial your provider, and there will be a delivery man coming soon with your request.
I was born in Lima and each year I would go but this year I can’t so it’s very frustrating but I really miss my culture, food and the people over there.
Yes driving is horrible in Lima, People Don't Care they completely disrespect The Laws. Very few do but the majority don't Care. The block inersections showing off their "me first" macho attitude. I'm glad you saw the good side of Perú. The food is amazing and people in general are nice.
If in Lima is winter go to the mountains! There's the dry season! The best season to visit The Andes! You have enough money to get better information about Peru!!
I want to visit Cuzco porque del arquitectura. Y me encantaría aprender un poco de Aymara mientras ahí también porque me encanta los idiomas y ¡la lingüstica!
@@callmeswivelhips8229 tenemos muchos idiomas! el quechua está difundido en la sierra desde Ecuador hasta norte de Argentina y Bolivia, el aimara en la parte del altiplano peruano boliviano y hay mas de 40 idiomas nativos en la selva...
I don't think you are idiots as you said. On the contrary, I want to thank you for sharing your experiences here in Peru. I lived in NJ and Virginia for 35 years and this past 7 years I am back in Lima. All you said is true. Have a nice time here!
Tell me a Safe Place to Stay with a teenager with Down's Syndrome (non-verbal) and Can I rent an Airbnb in Lima, Peru. Should I Stay in Miraflores, or near a Malecon.?? From Some TH-cam Videos, I've seen they have a lot of Green Area Parks in Lima, where would You Recommend We Could Stay where is easy to Walk around and enjoy their Beautiful Parks, and maybe even the Zoo, and a Performing Arts Theatre.
Best time to visit Lima is in summer from January to March, specially in February, the sun is always on and is diferent and there are so much activities in the coast, is more vibrant. Unfortunatelly our winter is gray and foggy all the time, but I think has charm too. You should have visited other parts of the city as the zoo, or pre-Inca ruins.
The problem of going during the Southern summer is that is rainy season in the Andes and makes it extremely dangerous to visit Machu Picchu because of flash floods and landslides. Tourists have gotten trapped in Aguascalientes after a flood years ago. Train service was suspended and they had to be rescued by choppers. I would say best time to go to Peru altogether is end of March-April or November-beginning of December. Weather is much better in fall and spring rather than summer or winter.
I've gotten away with bringing peruvian Pisco to Chile but doubt Perú would allow that. If you still want to bring it take the label out or scrap the name pisco and you might get away with it, since the problem is not about what liquor is in the bottle but a beverage called pisco coming from somewhere else besides Peru/ Chile.
Information rich. Providing useful information is one of the reasons your videos go to the top of the priority watch list versus others that are making the same circuit.
Be careful with Uber, try Cabify or the green taxi in the airport. It’s safer. On sunday things are not closed. 90% of things are open. I’m from Lima. I know what im taking about.
Didn't know the electrical currents were different. All the tips are valuable. One main thing when traveling is experiencing the different foods common to the place you are visiting. Thank you for these videos. Have fun and stay safe.
It is impossible for you to make a search in Google about that simple fact about the current??? Do you read about the country you want to visit before you go there?? If I want to go to visit a city or country or something I search about all the basic stuff about that place before I visit it!
That advice try new food is so correct and yet, I've seen it so often when I travel with other people. It's part of the adventure and the experience of travelling.
A big mistake is eating peruvian food in Miraflores 🤣🤣 you'll find real peruvian food in markets or some "wariques" and in other districts like lince, Surquillo, Jesús maría, Callao, etc...
@@ExtremeGuitar96 el Mercado 1 está en una zona algo riesgosa por la parte trasera, pero de día no pasa nada, puedes ir con tranquilidad y queda a cinco minutos a pie desde Kennedy.

What a great presentation guys! I'm so happy to see Lima for a few minutes in your video. My recommendations will be Do Not Drink any tap water. Don't wear jewelry if you are walking around town. Don't go out for night walking. And start your culinary tour with mild dishes, to avoid stomach ache. If you need to use a public restroom bring your own toilet paper and soap. These are just a few tips that can help you having a good time. Also! If you don't have to much time to go around trying new food, just go to RUSTICA RESTAURANT IN COSTA VERDE. THEY HAVE THE BEST BUFFET IN TOWN.
Spanish is the same in every Spanish spoken country. The slangs are what make it different. So it’s not a problem if you know “Mexican Spanish”. Nice videos from Peru! I am from Lima :)
Great Video I went to Peru in April 2018 with a good friend. We were there for 6 days, and managed to spend 2 days in lima, and the rest in the cusco area. We were somehow able to squeeze in Machu Picchu into our 6 day trip, granted we didn't sleep a lot. It is a must see if you ever go back to peru, the whole area surrounding it, known as the sacred valley is breathtaking as well.
Tip: there is a bus called quick "llama" or something like that, and it is the cheapest way to get to the center of Lima. It will drop you in Miraflores so it's pretty much what you need!
Another thing is to avoid carrying lots of cash in your pockets. Peru is a beautiful country but also they are many thieves (pickpocket). And this accidents happen in the day and night. Try to just take with you a decent amount of money that you might be considering spending the day.. This is what I do. Every time I visit Peru and I’m planning to go shopping, I just take around 300-400 soles in cash( 200 dollars). Because there is a risk someone with a knife or gun can stop me and steal everything that I have with me ( this is true, unfortunately) That’s why I prefer taking just a few amount of cash that can cover my ride to and from the shopping mall, food , and the things I will be buying at the shopping mall(souvenirs, clothes,etc). And if I really like something else, and I’m out of cash, I can come back again, maybe the same day or the next day to go and get it.. It’s not a good idea to be wandering in the streets of Lima with lots of shopping bags, that can attract these “muggers”. It’s always better to have a ride ready as soon as you leave (in this case exiting the mall with your shopping bags) so you can go straight to your ride and be safe. ***If unfortunately you become a victim, DONT fight back, or Refuse to give your belonging, these people have guns and they will do everything to obtain their purpose.
Hi guys. I'm from Lima and that hole on the windows or walls is not a common thing here in Peru. That was very strange to see even for me. And yes, we do not have air conditioning in our houses. We freeze during winter, especially if you live in Miraflores and other districts that are by the sea. The closest you are to the sea, the colder and wetter it is. Lima has many microclimates and that makes it very difficult to know what to wear, even during summer. So be prepared for every weather.
Coincido con el verano. Por ejemplo, en Miraflores, durante enero aún se tiene nubes y neblina constante y ciertos rezagos del clima invernal, recién en febrero sale el sol con fuerza y las temperaturas se vuelven altas. En San Borja, el clima caluroso dura hasta abril. Ya ni hablar de La Molina, Cieneguilla o Chaclacayo.
Most of South America uses 220v, except Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. For phones and computers, this is really not a problem -- as most adapters can take 110v to 220v. Check your adapter and you should see '110v - 220/240v' on it.
We did check our laptop chargers and they were fine but when it comes to our standard plug/usb chargers 🔌 for our phone, cameras, and other things like that, a converter is necessary so as not to fry them
@@TangerineTravels This is a voltage converter -> i.ebayimg.com/images/i/400732805505-0-1/s-l1000.jpg. They can be much larger, but those huge ones are not needed for traveling. That Mobo thing is not a voltage converter, rather it just has your basic Schuko-like plug. Again, check the adapter or check the documentation if the item can take 110v to 220/240v (most can, as this is the industry standard).

Hi kids. I do not comment on youtube much, but I just wanted to say that I was in Peru two weeks ago myself. I think you guys really missed out on the true magic of this country by not going to Cusco(truly mind blowing). I did not do Machu Picchu, but the other archaeological sites around there and in the Sacred Valley are fucking amazing. If you get chance to go back, I would highly recommend Cusco(just watch out for altitude sickness). I love your travel videos(they make me want to visit Mexico again). I was pleased recently to see that you had been to San Cristobal de las Casas. Great town(I felt very much at home there). Thanks for the awesome content. Cheers! Tom
Regarding Machu Pichu its better to schedule the trip and get the admission tickets in advance since it can get crowded and there's a limit to how many people get in to the archeological area. A knowlegable travel agent is a good idea.
Or...book a trekking... I took a salkantay trek which rakes around 5 days.. Its a grear experience and i was asked if i wanted to go to the huanapicchu (for an extra) and that was it. Loom for prices.. Dont pay 700 for the trek.. You might get it around 300
Whether you are a native speaker or you learned Spanish as a second language, you can understand Spanish from any other Spanish speaking country. Differences are not that abysmal. Assuming that they are is like saying Canadians can't understand a word of Australian English, which is not true. Of course, there are some differences, but both are mutually intelligible.
True! What we found particularly difficult were food names being completely different. For instance, we know avocado as “aguacate” in Mexico and in Lima it was “palta.” That’s not really an accent difference so ordering food was tricky, especially with some food allergies we have.
@@TangerineTravels I speak USA English as a foreign language and I have traveled to England Twice. I am still confused with some words that take me by surprise like trash/rubbish, line/queue, potato chips/crisps, French fries/chips...
I was in Guadalajara one time and I watched Italian tourists talk in Italian to the train attendants. The train attendants talked back in Spanish. They were able to under each other more than adequately. I guess if you've mastered one Latin based language you can talk to others who speak a different Latin based language. It's not a perfect translation but you will understand each other.

Do not worry friends Peru has almost all the climates of the world, while in Lima is in winter in the Sierra and Selva you find the sun and there is almost no rain, and you can enjoy the beaches of Tumbes and Piura of northern Peru very close to the equatorial line. And the reverse when it rains in the Sierra in Lima there is heat, so it is not a problem to come to Peru at any time of the year. Greetings all my friends
Coca is NOT Cocain, Maddy! One would probably need a room full of Coca leaves and a whole lot of chemicals to create a couple of gram Cocaine. Coca tea is also very healthy tea.
I love you guys so much! ❤ Your point of view is so refreshing and its so entertaining that you present your mistakes as learning and teaching moments and just really so relatable. I'm planning a trip to Peru next year after only having traveled to Europe and the UK so thanks so much for this info. Much love and luck on your continued travels. ✌❤🤗✈

It seems like you didn't understand them well. They said that airport officials don't distinguish coca leaves from cocaine, so you can get in trouble if you forget to get the coca leaves out of your bag.
that's what they get mixed up at the airport more often than not and trust me they fail to spot a difference everytime. you're better off not taking any consumables along for the journey back home. you'll be bereft of any rights to make a case and you'll get told off the joint in trice.
I haven’t been to Lima in over 40 years I don’t remember the holes in the windows like that...I will go back there again so I am thoroughly enjoying the content...At that time I stayed on the poor end of Lima not miraflores

Not going to lie, after seeing this comment I asked Maddie "What the heck is an iambic pentameter?!?" She proceeded to spend the next 15 minutes nerding out, telling me about Shakespeare, talking about grammar, high and low syllables, iambs, and some other things I'll probably never retain. 😂
@@TangerineTravels HAHA!!! The only trick I can teach you is to listen to your heart. ... I mean ... LITERALLY ... listen to your heart. It beats in iambs. dub-DUB, dub-DUB ... it's how English is spoken, and why some others, especially your friends in Mexico have a tougher time trying to do that. With pure vowels and accents on each word, and with a metrical delivery, Spanish is not conducive to iambs. I'm sure Maddie told you that when Shakespeare needed to make a special point, he speaks to the rhythm of the heart. Hence it's emotion. "What NOT to DO in LIma PEru. Outstanding! You guys are awesome!!!
Just read the specs on your charger, mostly all of the chargers accept 110 to 220 V, meaning you can use it without an adapter. I live in Canada (110V) and when I go to Peru (220V) I never used an adapter, and never had issues with burning up electronics. Read the info on them, they're there for something.
Maybe they say that for other electronics like hair dryers or irons who are often sold only for use on the purchase country. Cellphone and notebook chargers are always designed for all voltage and amperage mixes in the world.
Just remember that Ceviche de Choro is not Pussy Ceviche and you are good to go. Also, believe it or not coming in june or july was the best decision you could take
Comparing to other taxi services Uber is considered in Lima one of the expensive and not that safe taxis services to take. So you should need to be aware of that especially when being a foreigner idk things can happen

1)Just get a prepaid chip for your phone for 10 dollars you get a month of some data and calls, and you can top it up for really cheap.
2) Most restaurants, ,malls and businesses do open on sundays, only really small clothing or shoe stores might be closed.
3) Obviously pisco is like whisky or vodka. Beer comes from similar ingredients of whisky, that doesn't mean they will have the same alcohol %
4) Lima doesn't have extreme temperatures. Winter can be as low as 13 or 14 celsius at night and 28 at summer, so A/C is not that common because people get by with a jacket or a sweater at most.

Good Video! and just to mention:
To come to Peru best season is between April - September, despite coldest in Lima during this time (coast), because people also regularly wants to visit Cusco region and Machu Picchu and during these months is dry season (not rainy) in the Andes so is the best time to visit Peru.

Alcohol is quite unexpensive here. You cannot buy alcohol starting from 11 pm to 5 am, but this is a delivery paradise. Just dial your provider, and there will be a delivery man coming soon with your request.
I was born in Lima and each year I would go but this year I can’t so it’s very frustrating but I really miss my culture, food and the people over there.
Yes driving is horrible in Lima,
People Don't Care they completely disrespect The Laws. Very few do but the majority don't Care. The block inersections showing off their "me first" macho attitude.
I'm glad you saw the good side of Perú. The food is amazing and people in general are nice.

never NEVER TELL A Peruvian that PERUVIAN FOOD IS NOT THE BEST; I'm from Peru so I could say that many people get angry
Nunca estuve en Perú, hasta ahora, je, pero ningún plato de cocina peruana que haya probado me ha decepcionado. Mi favorito es el lomo saltado.
I don't think you are idiots as you said. On the contrary, I want to thank you for sharing your experiences here in Peru. I lived in NJ and Virginia for 35 years and this past 7 years I am back in Lima. All you said is true. Have a nice time here!
Tell me a Safe Place to Stay with a teenager with Down's Syndrome (non-verbal) and Can I rent an Airbnb in Lima, Peru. Should I Stay in Miraflores, or near a Malecon.?? From Some TH-cam Videos, I've seen they have a lot of Green Area Parks in Lima, where would You Recommend We Could Stay where is easy to Walk around and enjoy their Beautiful Parks, and maybe even the Zoo, and a Performing Arts Theatre.
Best time to visit Lima is in summer from January to March, specially in February, the sun is always on and is diferent and there are so much activities in the coast, is more vibrant. Unfortunatelly our winter is gray and foggy all the time, but I think has charm too. You should have visited other parts of the city as the zoo, or pre-Inca ruins.
The problem of going during the Southern summer is that is rainy season in the Andes and makes it extremely dangerous to visit Machu Picchu because of flash floods and landslides. Tourists have gotten trapped in Aguascalientes after a flood years ago. Train service was suspended and they had to be rescued by choppers.
I would say best time to go to Peru altogether is end of March-April or November-beginning of December. Weather is much better in fall and spring rather than summer or winter.
What a nice couple, so natural and refreshing, saying absolutly the true about Peru.🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
I’ve never thought i would find a video about my own country on my TH-cam recommendations lmao but it is so cool to find one 🥺
summer sunsets in Lima the sky turns pink or purple is so beautiful
Wish we could have seen some of those sunsets! Maybe next trip :)
Another "huge mistake" is to bring "chilean" pisco tu peru or viceversa... Don't do it... Please hahaha
I've gotten away with bringing peruvian Pisco to Chile but doubt Perú would allow that. If you still want to bring it take the label out or scrap the name pisco and you might get away with it, since the problem is not about what liquor is in the bottle but a beverage called pisco coming from somewhere else besides Peru/ Chile.
Information rich. Providing useful information is one of the reasons your videos go to the top of the priority watch list versus others that are making the same circuit.
Be careful with Uber, try Cabify or the green taxi in the airport. It’s safer.
On sunday things are not closed. 90% of things are open. I’m from Lima. I know what im taking about.
Taxi Green has a worst reputation that Uber...
Didn't know the electrical currents were different. All the tips are valuable. One main thing when traveling is experiencing the different foods common to the place you are visiting. Thank you for these videos. Have fun and stay safe.
South of Colombia/Ecuador everything is 220.
It is impossible for you to make a search in Google about that simple fact about the current??? Do you read about the country you want to visit before you go there?? If I want to go to visit a city or country or something I search about all the basic stuff about that place before I visit it!
@@Jimmydb You have issues son , get a check
Don't scold people! @@Jimmydb
Nice informative video!!! Looks like you guys enjoy your work. Safe travels!
That advice try new food is so correct and yet, I've seen it so often when I travel with other people. It's part of the adventure and the experience of travelling.
Since you came in this winter, I recommend you to go to “Lomas of Lachay”
or wherever instead Larcomar...its just stores and shopping. Parque de las aguas, Lunahuana, Las huacas are better things to visit
A big mistake is eating peruvian food in Miraflores 🤣🤣 you'll find real peruvian food in markets or some "wariques" and in other districts like lince, Surquillo, Jesús maría, Callao, etc...
Necesitaría un guía para hacer eso, adentrarse en esos lugares sería muy peligroso para un turista . En mi humilde opinión.
Callao y quizas Surquillo son peligrosos. Otros lugares no tanto.
Callao si es riesgoso, pero surquillo no necesariamente. Tranquilamente está el mercado número 1
@@jordananccocalli6846 mercado de jesus maria, la mejor leche de tigre del peru y no es peligroso
@@ExtremeGuitar96 el Mercado 1 está en una zona algo riesgosa por la parte trasera, pero de día no pasa nada, puedes ir con tranquilidad y queda a cinco minutos a pie desde Kennedy.

Una recomendación más: Al venir a Lima obligatoriamente deberían hacer una lista de la comida tradicional peruana, hay mucho por descubrir. Saludos!
Good video! I like your opinions, tips and recomendations about my country. :)
Also, the leaves are an agricultural product and most countries don't allow agricultural products to come into their country.
Very good point!
Guys. Come stay in Peru. It’s the number one destination for youtubers, there are a lot of things to see in Peru, not only in Lima
I love your vids. Keep up with all this good info: thank you again.
Thanks, Rita!
Your tips are so helpful. I'd like to see you take a trip to Argentina someday so we can learn all about it. - Scott 😎

What a great presentation guys! I'm so happy to see Lima for a few minutes in your video. My recommendations will be Do Not Drink any tap water. Don't wear jewelry if you are walking around town. Don't go out for night walking. And start your culinary tour with mild dishes, to avoid stomach ache. If you need to use a public restroom bring your own toilet paper and soap. These are just a few tips that can help you having a good time. Also! If you don't have to much time to go around trying new food, just go to RUSTICA RESTAURANT IN COSTA VERDE. THEY HAVE THE BEST BUFFET IN TOWN.
Spanish is the same in every Spanish spoken country. The slangs are what make it different. So it’s not a problem if you know “Mexican Spanish”. Nice videos from Peru! I am from Lima :)
I don't know if you are still in Peru, you might like the white city of arequipa, that place is definitely worth to see.
Considered an "Original Masterpiece" by UNESCO.
Epic catch of a paraglider in the background around the 50-60 seconds area of the video!
Great Video I went to Peru in April 2018 with a good friend. We were there for 6 days, and managed to spend 2 days in lima, and the rest in the cusco area. We were somehow able to squeeze in Machu Picchu into our 6 day trip, granted we didn't sleep a lot. It is a must see if you ever go back to peru, the whole area surrounding it, known as the sacred valley is breathtaking as well.
Tip: there is a bus called quick "llama" or something like that, and it is the cheapest way to get to the center of Lima. It will drop you in Miraflores so it's pretty much what you need!
"The official language in Lima or in Peru is Spanish and the second language is honking" hahahaha is true! Greetings from Peru!

Another thing is to avoid carrying lots of cash in your pockets. Peru is a beautiful country but also they are many thieves (pickpocket). And this accidents happen in the day and night. Try to just take with you a decent amount of money that you might be considering spending the day..
This is what I do. Every time I visit Peru and I’m planning to go shopping, I just take around 300-400 soles in cash( 200 dollars). Because there is a risk someone with a knife or gun can stop me and steal everything that I have with me ( this is true, unfortunately)
That’s why I prefer taking just a few amount of cash that can cover my ride to and from the shopping mall, food , and the things I will be buying at the shopping mall(souvenirs, clothes,etc). And if I really like something else, and I’m out of cash, I can come back again, maybe the same day or the next day to go and get it..
It’s not a good idea to be wandering in the streets of Lima with lots of shopping bags, that can attract these “muggers”. It’s always better to have a ride ready as soon as you leave (in this case exiting the mall with your shopping bags) so you can go straight to your ride and be safe.
***If unfortunately you become a victim, DONT fight back, or Refuse to give your belonging, these people have guns and they will do everything to obtain their purpose.
These thefts are chusco people
Hi guys. I'm from Lima and that hole on the windows or walls is not a common thing here in Peru. That was very strange to see even for me. And yes, we do not have air conditioning in our houses. We freeze during winter, especially if you live in Miraflores and other districts that are by the sea. The closest you are to the sea, the colder and wetter it is. Lima has many microclimates and that makes it very difficult to know what to wear, even during summer. So be prepared for every weather.
Coincido con el verano. Por ejemplo, en Miraflores, durante enero aún se tiene nubes y neblina constante y ciertos rezagos del clima invernal, recién en febrero sale el sol con fuerza y las temperaturas se vuelven altas. En San Borja, el clima caluroso dura hasta abril. Ya ni hablar de La Molina, Cieneguilla o Chaclacayo.
Most of South America uses 220v, except Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. For phones and computers, this is really not a problem -- as most adapters can take 110v to 220v. Check your adapter and you should see '110v - 220/240v' on it.
We did check our laptop chargers and they were fine but when it comes to our standard plug/usb chargers 🔌 for our phone, cameras, and other things like that, a converter is necessary so as not to fry them
@@TangerineTravels This is a voltage converter -> i.ebayimg.com/images/i/400732805505-0-1/s-l1000.jpg. They can be much larger, but those huge ones are not needed for traveling. That Mobo thing is not a voltage converter, rather it just has your basic Schuko-like plug. Again, check the adapter or check the documentation if the item can take 110v to 220/240v (most can, as this is the industry standard).
The Mobo thing says it works from 110 volts up to 200-something.

Local's tip maybe 3 or 4 soles for a 40 soles meal. That's why they were so happy when you tipped them 15 percent.
Regarding tipping, make sure it isn’t already included in your check. Some of the fancy restaurants will include it.

Yes, you are right. Lima is known as the honking city, where honking is a pleasure.
Hi kids. I do not comment on youtube much, but I just wanted to say that I was in Peru two weeks ago myself. I think you guys really missed out on the true magic of this country by not going to Cusco(truly mind blowing). I did not do Machu Picchu, but the other archaeological sites around there and in the Sacred Valley are fucking amazing. If you get chance to go back, I would highly recommend Cusco(just watch out for altitude sickness). I love your travel videos(they make me want to visit Mexico again). I was pleased recently to see that you had been to San Cristobal de las Casas. Great town(I felt very much at home there). Thanks for the awesome content. Cheers!
Tom
You didn't miss much by not going there and saved a lot of money.
@@redstreet8012 You kidding right?
Regarding Machu Pichu its better to schedule the trip and get the admission tickets in advance since it can get crowded and there's a limit to how many people get in to the archeological area. A knowlegable travel agent is a good idea.
Or...book a trekking... I took a salkantay trek which rakes around 5 days.. Its a grear experience and i was asked if i wanted to go to the huanapicchu (for an extra) and that was it. Loom for prices.. Dont pay 700 for the trek.. You might get it around 300
Pisco is like grappa or brandy. Can you show us a great art museum there? Love to see paintings
Museo de arte de lima, monumental callao and MATE by mario testino are my top art choices here in my city :)
Not sure if you guys have tried it, but Here Maps lets you use maps offline for the whole country instead of just certain areas like Google Maps.
Whether you are a native speaker or you learned Spanish as a second language, you can understand Spanish from any other Spanish speaking country. Differences are not that abysmal. Assuming that they are is like saying Canadians can't understand a word of Australian English, which is not true. Of course, there are some differences, but both are mutually intelligible.
True! What we found particularly difficult were food names being completely different. For instance, we know avocado as “aguacate” in Mexico and in Lima it was “palta.” That’s not really an accent difference so ordering food was tricky, especially with some food allergies we have.
@@TangerineTravels I get it.
@@TangerineTravels I speak USA English as a foreign language and I have traveled to England Twice. I am still confused with some words that take me by surprise like trash/rubbish, line/queue, potato chips/crisps, French fries/chips...

You needed to explore more places in Peru... I guess that would be on your next trip... Greetings
I was in Guadalajara one time and I watched Italian tourists talk in Italian to the train attendants. The train attendants talked back in Spanish. They were able to under each other more than adequately. I guess if you've mastered one Latin based language you can talk to others who speak a different Latin based language. It's not a perfect translation but you will understand each other.
Your best option is to get away from the common districts of travelling : Miraflores, San Isidro and Barranco. Cuisine in Lima is top notch.
great info. Lima coast looks so beautiful.

Do not worry friends Peru has almost all the climates of the world, while in Lima is in winter in the Sierra and Selva you find the sun and there is almost no rain, and you can enjoy the beaches of Tumbes and Piura of northern Peru very close to the equatorial line. And the reverse when it rains in the Sierra in Lima there is heat, so it is not a problem to come to Peru at any time of the year. Greetings all my friends
Coca is NOT Cocain, Maddy! One would probably need a room full of Coca leaves and a whole lot of chemicals to create a couple of gram Cocaine.
Coca tea is also very healthy tea.

(1:08) there is NO such thing as “cocaine leaves”... they are “coca leaves”. You have to educate yourself a bit more before making those statements!
It seems like you didn't understand them well. They said that airport officials don't distinguish coca leaves from cocaine, so you can get in trouble if you forget to get the coca leaves out of your bag.
@@tataditiditin sure but there is not such thing as cocaine leaves
that's what they get mixed up at the airport more often than not and trust me they fail to spot a difference everytime. you're better off not taking any consumables along for the journey back home. you'll be bereft of any rights to make a case and you'll get told off the joint in trice.

Your iambic pentameter is positively Shakespearean! (cf. the title of your video) Encore! (The French would shout, "Bis"!)
Not going to lie, after seeing this comment I asked Maddie "What the heck is an iambic pentameter?!?" She proceeded to spend the next 15 minutes nerding out, telling me about Shakespeare, talking about grammar, high and low syllables, iambs, and some other things I'll probably never retain. 😂
@@TangerineTravels HAHA!!! The only trick I can teach you is to listen to your heart. ... I mean ... LITERALLY ... listen to your heart. It beats in iambs. dub-DUB, dub-DUB ... it's how English is spoken, and why some others, especially your friends in Mexico have a tougher time trying to do that. With pure vowels and accents on each word, and with a metrical delivery, Spanish is not conducive to iambs. I'm sure Maddie told you that when Shakespeare needed to make a special point, he speaks to the rhythm of the heart. Hence it's emotion. "What NOT to DO in LIma PEru. Outstanding! You guys are awesome!!!
Just read the specs on your charger, mostly all of the chargers accept 110 to 220 V, meaning you can use it without an adapter. I live in Canada (110V) and when I go to Peru (220V) I never used an adapter, and never had issues with burning up electronics. Read the info on them, they're there for something.
Maybe they say that for other electronics like hair dryers or irons who are often sold only for use on the purchase country. Cellphone and notebook chargers are always designed for all voltage and amperage mixes in the world.
Just remember that Ceviche de Choro is not Pussy Ceviche and you are good to go. Also, believe it or not coming in june or july was the best decision you could take
Comparing to other taxi services Uber is considered in Lima one of the expensive and not that safe taxis services to take. So you should need to be aware of that especially when being a foreigner idk things can happen
I recomend Cabify..is even a little more expensive than uber but is safer
