First Impressions of Lima Peru

#peru #lima
THIS is what it looks like in Peru today! Day to day life in most of the country (and specifically where we are in Lima) carries a different tint from the news. There are several safe places and spaces to be. Here are our favorites, and why.

I'm glad you are doing well. "In this neighborhood there is no protest" because they have nothing to protest, the system takes care of them. Surely, not everyone's reality.

[@TheYarbros]

Facts! That was my point.

[@60plusblackwomenexpats]

Thanks for broadcasting. It's nice to hear that you guys are safe and enjoying yourself.Of course, we will continue the prayers that you guys stay safe.

[@TheYarbros]

Thanks for watching and for your continued prayers!

[@hinthegroove9740]

Sophisticated and cultured, but somehow keeping it real. Luv it

[@HE360]

After doing a lot of research, I'm very close to making my decision to going to Peru this summer. It seems like every source I've seen said that they love Peru. I just think that when I go there, I'm probably going to end up eating a lot. They say that some of the food in Peru is the best. And a "Coffee and Waffles" shop??? YAYYY!! I'm probably going to be in those coffee and desserts shops ALL of the time lol 🤣

[@bucktravel6499]

Barranco is my favorite neighborhood. I'm in Lima now. This city is growing on me the longer I stay here.

[@TheYarbros]

Right! We are really falling for this city!

[@Jetmab04]

Thanks for sharing again. These places looks much more safe than what you showed the other day and especially Barranco is an area I could fall in love with. Let's hope the peace there keep on and, the violence stop. Take care, enjoy the city and the stunning ocean.. 💕❤️💕

[@TheYarbros]

Praying for peace!

[@soulfoodsmama2980]

I clicked so fast when I saw the thumbnail of that street art, it’s so beautiful!!!!! Peru has been on my list of places for years and now I have one more reason why. 😭💙

[@TheYarbros]

I can't deny the greatness of this place. Food, culture art....all magnificent!

[@thomasdreyer2464]

I’m happy to hear you two are safe. Not gonna lie, I was worried when I watched your entry to Peru, because I knew about the “unrest”. Be safe. I need to keep learning from you. Your present is my future.

[@TheYarbros]

Yes, we're safe and really enjoying Peru!

[@etchalaco9971]

nobody is going to protest by the coast, nothing happens there. The center of the city is where the seat of power lies.

[@VibeWithVida]

About to have some Mexican food, a mimosa, get comfy and WATCH THIS!

[@TheYarbros]

Come on and sit down I hope its authentic grub. Have a great evening!

[@joeshaves1633]

The media has blown this way up. Been here 3 weeks and have had zero issues. Protests in the USA in 2020 were way worse

[@philliploco5037]

Soy Peruano y gracias por hablar de mi Pais, estoy muy feliz que les gusta mi pais. Que lindo tu video.

[@cindyk3076]

So far, Lima looks really nice! Happy that you both are safe and that you feel safe as well. Keep staying safe and having a good time.

[@TheYarbros]

Yes, we will proceed and continue to enjoy this city!

[@nabilel-ghoroury]

I loved Lima the two times I’ve visited. I preferred Barranco over Miraflores, but I don’t remember any bad smells. We went in July so it was winter then. Have you made it to Parque Kennedy in Miraflores? The cats in the park are a trip! If you can, go early to see them sleeping in the park. We had a great time watching the cats. Miraflores reminded me a lot of Santa Monica, CA with cliffs and a major road at the beach level. Similar weather too. Hope you are enjoying Peru and thank you for the videos!

[@marydean1440]

So much gratitude for telling it like it is!

[@dominicway3584]

Digital nomad in my 50s touring Europe, just found your channel and it’s the best out there. Keep posting and stay safe. Cheers Dom

[@hinthegroove9740]

I just love you guy’s videos 😊

[@danamarie6066]

So glad u guys are safe and yes, we will keep praying for ya'll! Lovin' the content too, its nice to have a "boots on the ground" perspective, cause we don't usually get the truth.

[@TheYarbros]

Thanks! We love being the boots on the ground....eyes and ears of our people.

[@MariaMarquez-ok4hf]

Interesting video. Thank you for showing us the different barrios. I like the second one, Apryl’s favorite. So glad you clarified what type of urine smell. 😂 I was thinking human. Must be lots of dogs running loose around there? I’m so glad you two are safe. The media always focuses on the worst! Great job you two!

[@TheYarbros]

While editing we realized we never clarified the urine 🤣 had to type it in! We didn't see many strays but lots of ppl have dogs. We're glad you enjoyed the video!

[@erikperuvianbull]

B😅 Barranco is near right at the ocean and there i😊s seawee season came off

[@lauras8674]

Loved this video! Lima is so beautiful! I just wish you could explore more of the country! 😢

[@TheYarbros]

Next time because we will def. be back!

[@jacklee279]

The video was excellent! Peru, is a country with diversity, including the people, Native American Indians of many different ethnic groups, black Afro-Peruvians, Asian-Peruvians, white European descent Peruvians, and mix Peruvians, or mestizos, mainly of Native American Indian and white European descent. It just depends on the part of the country. There is an interesting Chinatown around downtown Lima. Miraflores is a commercial area with many hotels, restaurants, and hostels. San Isidro, used to be a wealthy residential area, like Beverly Hills. San Isidro, has changed, many of the rich families have moved to other more quiet and guarded areas like Monterrico, La Molina, Las Casuarinas, La Planicie, and so on, which are residential wealthy areas. And San Isidro, has become a more business commercial area were many banks, and other such kind of institutions are headquartered. You guys should visit Iquitos, Peru. Best wishes!

[@LivingLovingAbroad]

Them waffles though!!! 🤤 Y'all keep the content rolling family, 50k subs coming soon!

[@TheYarbros]

God willing!

[@lunarose1066]

Thank you.

[@TheYarbros]

Right back @cha Thank you!

[@nathalienorie4887]

HERMOSO MIRAFLORES EN LIMA...I LOVE MIRAFLORES IN LIMA....GREAT MEMORIES..ALSO CUSCO......BE SAFE...

[@TheYarbros]

We will! We too are creating some awesome memories here in Lima! Happy Holidays!

[@rosaglem1905]

So happy you two are still safe and doing so well in one my favorite places to be. Lima is where I wish I were today, but, being I just left there in Nov, I have to give it some time. Any I did give Albania a look and so wanted it be my next travel location, but, burrrrrrrrr, too cold there in Feb. I might have to get a pensioners visa for Peru, so I can be there at least 6 months at a time. Peru no longer allows 183 days it has been reduced to 90 per 6 months and then you have to wait another 6 months to get another 90 days. This could change again on a dime though, there's no consistency with their visa rules. So for now, still looking for where to head in Feb 2023. Loving this video and you updates on your stay in Peru.

[@victorsanchez4351]

In lima we love our parks I think because Lima sits on a desert, most is irrigated with ancient pre-inca acueducts that Tun below the city, people dream of green hehehe in the Surco district where I live there is circa 800 parks well looked after….and manicured new expresión for me. Enjoy your time guys !! I love your videos and have been following you since Mexico. If you want to grasp what I mean by desert take a visit to Pachacamac archeological site, it’s safe just take a taxi from Barranco, there is a brand new museum there too. You will see views of the ocean, the desert and the green river valley below, I recomend the place many visitors and locals go there, take a hat and sun cream. On the way will see other social landscapes too, from A de Z.

[@Rodo3919]

Great video guys, I’m Peruvian from Lima and I have to say if you like San Isidro you might want to check out other districts that are much more safe than San Isidro, and definitely not known by tourist but locals…. La molina, Rinconada del lago, Casuarinas, Chosica is super nice, maybe some parts in Surco and San Borja. But these are more residential areas.

[@victorsanchez4351]

Hiya I heard recently on a radio program that the average age in peru is 27!!,,,,brilliant video guys! I sugest visit to huacas pucllana and parque el olivar few blocks away, cool walk you’ll like it.

[@TheYarbros]

That explains the youthful vibe! Thanks for the recommendations. We haven't checked them out yet!

[@victorsanchez4351]

@@TheYarbros The huaca pucllana in Miraflores has a top rated restaurant inside the archeological site, complete meal for 2 with pisco sours or wine 🍷 will fetch $40-$50 each and nice view of a 2,500 year old pirámid, that’s my special ocasions restaurant

[@sharoncarrington1474]

Loved Barranco - sad to hear about the strong urine smell though. Lima is gorgeous. Can’t wait till things calm down so I can visit. Prayers for all of Peru 🙏🏿

[@TheYarbros]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 🇵🇪

[@HavInspires]

Those waffles looked exquisite ❤

[@TheYarbros]

Girl, we're still trying to work them off...lol They were great though. Well worth the calories!

[@amarie3309]

Glad you’re in the oasis. Glad you’re safe. I’ve been researching the history and sorry history of corruption. Seems like the usual culprit-drug trade. Pray for Peru and you guys. Safe wishes

[@TheYarbros]

Thank you. The history is quite interesting and it's still unfolding.

[@SoulWhisperer]

Making lemonade from lemons, that's right. "Hot baked urine" and "the urine of Christmas past." I'm LOL. Nice to hear from you. You are divinely guided, protected, and directed. All is well.

[@TheYarbros]

Gracias....yes all is well and in God's hands. Just trying to stay listening.

[@SoulWhisperer]

@@TheYarbros Yes, that's how you do. 😇

[@Imaginativeone_DF]

Did you say POPEYES?? Nice! (My kids own shares of QSR, the parent company of Popeyes.)

[@Imaginativeone_DF]

The most recent dividend was $0.52 per share.

[@TheYarbros]

Yes, it's been interesting seeing them pop up in different places!

[@cadco1996]

Thanks for these videos. I have a career opportunity that would involve a 3 year move to Lima with my wife. We have not traveled much or ever been to South America, so needless to say it is a bit overwhelming. It is useful to have your perspectives on the city. I am wondering, do you think you could have found yourselves enjoying life in Lima for an extended period like what I am considering?

[@TheYarbros]

In a word, yes. It is one of the very few cities in S. America we could spend an extended amount of time there. It’s on our short list to revisit in the future to consider residency in.

[@TakittyLove]

They are not neighborhoods, they're Districts administered by Mayors. Lima City is administered by a Governor and it has Provinces and inside of these, there are Districts and districts are made up for neighborhoods and these are made up for groups of blocks at the same time. In the case of Miraflores, Barranco, San Isidro for example, they're districts which are inside Metropolinan/Urban Area of Lima Province. Lima City has 8 provinces administered by mayors, too like Lima, Cañete, Chosica, Lurin, Huacho, etc, they, except for Lima, have a image more "rural" but they're inside of Lima City. In the case of San Isidro for example, the political administration would be like this: Peru>Lima City>Lima Province/Metropolitan>San Isidro>El Olivar neighborhood. Greetings from the District of San Martin de Porres, Lima. 😊🏙️ !

[@orangemoonglows2692]

are you really in peru eating dominos pizza and popeye's?

[@TheYarbros]

Haven't had Domino's yet but I've had Popeyes. Why do you ask orange moon glows lol Had cevechie and a bunch of other stuff I can't spell but yeah...showl is.

[@victorsanchez4351]

@@TheYarbros Besides you can taste those homie American 🇺🇸 flavors you miss some times, in Lima you have many USA franchises to help when you get food-home sick

[@jeff2351]

Glad you're both safe. Get to more fun/safe destination's, like DaNang Vietnam. I'm not a fan of Mexico personally.

[@TheYarbros]

So many places we want to go....as soon as our income permits we're there!

[@jeff2351]

It's expansive traveling, huh broh. Everything has gone up in dollars. Blessings.

[@joeshaves1633]

Lol on the dog urine. Most people have no yards for their dogs to pee in. So they walk them outside. Stay away from the telephone poles

[@Neosan1982]

Thanks for the tour. Nice place to visit, but to live there you would have to be OK with lots of overcast days. For half the year Lima is the least sunny city of all the South American continent.

[@TheYarbros]

Overcast suits me just fine.

[@proyectonuevo7487]

En Lima no hay sol

[@TheYarbros]

@@proyectonuevo7487 Not true we have had a lot of sunny days...they're in the video 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@alex.1988]

most latinamarica people hates lima because it was the capital of virreinato in the past for so many years

[@TheYarbros]

I know and understand that....Its hiw I feel about Boston un the U.S.

If you had to choose, would you live in Mexico or Peru?

No, we don't.
