  • Wondering what to do with one day in Lima, Peru? In this Lima travel guide we show you our 7 favourite things to do in Lima, Peru! This video is the first of our Peru travel vlogs and we jam packed it with the best way to see Peru's vibrant capital city for anyone who is short on time. If you happen to have a second free day in Lima, you could also do these 7 things over two days and just spend a bit more time eating delicious food in between each stop! Peru is famous for its incredible cuisine, and Lima is considered the food capital of South America, so there is no shortage of AMAZING food to try. We made sure to find ourselves Peruvian ceviche and the famous lomo saltado at mercado 28 and were NOT disappointed by our first taste of Peruvian food!
    For your visit to Lima, we highly suggest you start your day at Miraflores (many visitors rent accommodation in Miraflores for easy access and safety) which is home to Kennedy Park and Parque del Amor. Give yourself lots of time to pet the dozens of cats at Kennedy Park if you are someone who enjoys a furry cuddle! After taking in the epic coastal views at Parque del Amor, walk or cycle along the coast to Mercado 28 for an incredible ceviche or lomo saltado lunch (or a dozen other options!). Then its a quick jaunt over to Baranco to watch the street performers and hold your breath as you cross the Bridge of Sighs. You can then make your way to Plaza de Armas to wander the streets and take in the beautiful architecture (if you have the time, we recommend joining a free walking tour around Plaza de Armas to learn more about the history of Lima). Finally, once it gets dark, head over to Parque de la Reserva to take in the fountain light show! This show was not at all what we expected, but it was awesome and is a great way to end a full day of sightseeing!

    It is not only the “best ceviche” but originated in Perú 5000 years ago in the oldest civilization of the Americas called Caral. When the conquistador came to Perú, they added new ingredients to the ceviche as onion, garlic, cilantro, and like. Five thousand years ago, they used citrus from the Amazon to cook fish and hot peppers, and sea salt. Since the Spaniards expanded to other regions in Latin America also, the ceviche traveled with them, adopting their way of making it. Therefore the authentic ceviche is from Perú and no other place.

    • @nicoleandmico
      @nicoleandmico  2 года назад +4

      That is so interesting, thank you for sharing! We really enjoy learning how things like food, language, and customs traveled across regions. It makes sense that ceviche traveled with the Spanish as they moved across the continent. Thanks for teaching us!

    You may find ceviche in many countries of Latin America BUT the ORIGIN OF CEVICHE IS IN PERU 🇵🇪….it all started with the its Moche culture marinating fish with an acidic fruit…and then it evolved from there when the Spanish introduced limes to the country….and yeah some countries can claim all they want, but the proof of ceviche origin backs Perú as the the one and only. And yeah most people agree that the Peruvian ceviche is the tastiest as well 😃

    The 10%of Peruvian Population has at least one relative with Chinese roots. Peru has the biggest Chinese migration in SouthAmerica and the second biggest Japanese Migration. So that's why Peruvian cuisine is so varied. And Ceviche is NOT exactly Raw fish because the fish is "cooked" by the "acid/sourness" of the lime juice. Greetings dear friends!!😊

    Hi Nicole, we are planning to go Peru in September. Do you suggest to carry warm cloths.

    • @nicoleandmico
      @nicoleandmico  Год назад +1

      Hi there! Yes, we would recommend bringing some warmer clothes, although how warm will depend on where you go. If you are heading toward Cusco then you can expect temperatures to get to 4 or 5 degrees Celsius (about 40F) at night time, and indoors can get very cold when the sun goes down because the houses aren't insulated and there is no heating. If you are staying near Lima then it will probably only get to 15 degree Celsium at night, but the highs are only around 20C that time of year so a light jacket will be helpful.

      Hey there! The mask requirement in Peru is actually fairly strict compared to other places we have been in recent months. Technically you don't have to wear masks outside at the moment, but many locals do. To go into grocery store and malls you are required to wear two masks. In the tourist places like Cusco the mask regulations are a bit less. Have a wonderful trip!

      Hey there! We always use IATA to check for travel requirements when headed to a new country. The website is www.iatatravelcentre.com/world.php
      When we went, the requirement was to either be vaccinated or have a covid 19 test within the last 48 hours, and to complete a health form before departure. It was really simple!

      Have a wonderful time in Peru! Our suggestion for a SIM is Claro, we have used them in multiple countries (including Peru) and had great service all over the country. It's also easy to refill the account at any pharmacy if you run out of data. To get set up you will have to go to a Claro store the first time. Don't forget your passport! They will need your original passport to get you set up

    I've been living in Peru for 5 years and 7 months. Because I am from Texas, what I always look forward to in Lima is Mexican food. It's not as good as in Texas but for South America, it comes to as close as you can get at restaurante Como Agua Para Chocolate. Authentic Peruvian food can get old but I do still love Aji de Gallina. The restaurant you were eating at in Barranco with your travel blog friends IS NOT AUTHENTIC PERUVIAN FOOD and that is why it is so good! Lima does have amazing chefs and Peru offers many ingredients that are very unique only to Peru and that is why Lima won the Culinary Destination of the World Award in 2012, 2013, and 2015! Another great place for great food in Peru is Mancora Peru, a 21 hour bus ride or you can fly to Piura and take a 3 or 4 hour bus from Piura to Mancora, a small coastal town famous for surfing!
    Any person visiting Lima should not leave without trying the Chicharron sandwich at La Lucha, other places make good Chicharron sandwiches but I like the Salsa Ricotta sauce at La Lucha the best, it is the hottest imo of other sandwich places. Also the best Shawarma in South America, possibly the world is at Tarboush located directly across the street from Parque Kennedy about 5 storefronts down from Starbucks.
    Lomo Saltaldo, you are partly correct in saying that it has soy sauce but it is Peru's own style of soy sauce with Aji No Moto (MSG) called sillao sauce.
    Ceviche is on every street in Peru, not just the coast and I absolutely can not stand to eat it. If I want something that tastes like a lime, I will drink lime juice!

    Guys, what’s the face mask situation outside in public places? I’ve heard it’s mandatory to have it on, but you/others in the video usually don’t have it on. Is anyone forcing you into wearing one? I have no issues wearing one inside, but outside sounds excessive…

    • @nicoleandmico
      @nicoleandmico  2 года назад

      Hey there! The rules for face masks in Peru are based off the percentage of people who have a certain dose of vaccines, so the regulations can change based on the percentage of population vaccinated. In our 6 weeks there we did have to wear masks inside always, and even 2 masks in grocery stores and malls. However, outdoors it wasn't mandatory from what we understood. Many locals still wore masks outside as you can see in the videos, but we were never told to put them on if we weren't wearing ours.
