FYI, I live in an apto. in the middle of Miraflores, fully furnished for $500 a month. Five minute walk to the beach, every bus that I take to get around two-three minutes from me. You can find cheaper if you look hard enough.

[@danthadon87]

Lima is the easiest place to find dates for a westerner in latin america hands down. My tinder was blowing up in that city and so many women speak decent english.

[@henry-5676]

No way, Ecuador is easier

[@danthadon87]

@@henry-5676 Just check out the American KZbinr who made 2 separate videos dedicated to each country, he asked out 100 girls from ecuador and peru on a date, far more peruvian women said yes to go on a date with him than ecuador. But ecuador's pretty easy as well based off my experience, mind you I've only travelled to loja and vilcabamba.

[@jaspergabriels8933]

Really? I barely meet girls here that speak English

[@TravelWithJuice]

Lima’s food scene is elite, and agreed the Uber drivers are nuts out there.

[@santiagoarestegui]

Auston, you've visited a small area of Lima. Miraflores and Barranco are most touristical areas in town, but this is a huge city. Just to name a good place to go, La Punta in Callao is a very pleasant one, even during wintertime. We also have an elevated metro system in place, like that New York once had. It is being expanded to other areas across Lima.

[@amgvideoproductions6331]

Great video, think about including the weather in your next video guides such as what time of year is the best to go (such as carnivale in brazil or january - May in Brazil), when it's rainy season, summer, or winter and how cold or hot it gets. Best clothes to wear to match the weather or locals/fit into the culture (such as flip flops in Brazil). Cheers.

[@AustonHolleman]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@santiagoarestegui]

Cool and later cold weather from May to October hot from November to Mid - April. Best time to visit, as a local, wintertime. During summertime everyone literally escapes from Lima to spend their holidays on the beaches south and north of town. Heat is not extreme, but it feels like that because of high humidity. Don't miss the UV protection and wear a hat while walking down the streets. Humidity also makes you feel colder than it is. Wintertime. is dark, windy and cloudy city. Homes have no central heating. We are fully clothed at home. It doesn't rain but it drizzles.

[@alfredorullier5894]

Great video, I love Perú 🇵🇪 the first time I went people were very friendly and respectfull.

[@isaacmera8308]

What people need to understand about Lima is that there isn't a lot of prostitution. As he said he will find your good looking Colombians and Venezuelans on the streets (kinda like what you see on Colombian and Venezuelan videos) but you know they are working. Peruvian women will not just be like trophies on the streets. If you want to find cute peruvian girls, go to NICE clubs, they will be there and don't even think about treating them like you would other nationalities, these are professional women who work and/or study, they aren't "working" at the club, so approach with respect and intelligence. Another thing people don't understand about Peru, is that everything is about class, so you will find ugly girls if you go to shitty places and you will find very good looking ones if you go to nice, fancy places like NICE clubs or bars (not restaurants, that's for friends and family). Forget about finding the cutes ones on the streets just walking around waiting to be picked up. A good Peruvian girl is a wife. As a tourist stick to Miraflores, Barranco and San Isidro and m venture into Centro de Lima for the historic value. You can go to El Callao but during the day only and with people, don't ever go alone. La Molina is far, it is the fanciest place in Lima, only gated communities with the wealthiest people living there, there are nice museums but nothing else.

[@christiancasaboza8608]

I am from Lima and for 500 bucks you can find a very nice bnb place to stay in Miraflores or nearby. Better luck next time.

[@KingdomofKinship]

You've sold Peru for me, definitely need to see it. I'm from London, met some peruvian women recently, they're fine. They have a Native American look to them.

[@jaspergabriels8933]

It's really not that special!

[@pygmalioninvenus6057]

Don't go if you're from London.

[@Adventure007-h5c]

I was in Lima 40 days same time as you. Actually seen you twice walking on the streets. Had not seen a video of yours yet at the time. Lima is a great city dating wise. The vast majority of the gringos there are staying 1-2 weeks max. Just a connection for Machu Picchu. This leaves majority of women frustrated for dating. 2 girls showed me their dating options on Bumble. Very sad indeed. There are plenty of 7s and 8s walking around. Not hard to find. Just as in any city. But there is a major lack of quality men for the Lima women. The competition here is extremely low. You definitely have an EXTREME advantage in this dating market. This goes without saying. If you're short, ugly, a dork, and socially awkward. Good luck. This doesn't apply.

[@digolaverdad7313]

Lol it's not "quality". You guys are going to poor countries, that's all. Thanks to the US your 1000 dollars a month can impress working class people in poor countries but that's not because you have more "quality" as a person (let's face it, most of you guys can't even speak English like a human being and can't even read a book, what you have is thanks to the Anglo Americans who fed you). If you go to a rich country you get laughed out of the room.

I like Mira Flores alot. I did a mission trip in Peru. Been to Lima, Trujillo, and Chiclayo and of course they don't care if you are an American man their former president back in the day was Japanese

[@Inkajungletour]

I hope you enjoyed Lima! And next time, contact us for tips and advice on where to stay, eat and what to visit in Peru!

[@odo8808]

♥️ muchas gracias por hablar de mi pais 🇵🇪

[@Jimulacrum]

The raw-fish dish you're describing is ceviche (my favorite Peruvian dish), made raw fish and/or seafood cured in lime juice, onion, and hot pepper with traditional sides. The leafy green in there is cilantro. The corn is choclo (more grainy flavor, not sweet like North American corn). There may have also been some sweet potato, and of course the ubiquitous cancha (Peruvian popcorn). The "milkshake" is leche de tigre, almost like a cold soup form of ceviche, at least in Lima. There are different versions in other parts of the country (e.g., in Piura, leche de tigre is served hot as a sort of appetizer and is just liquid, no fish).

[@didyouknowamazingfacts2790]

What is crazy is that I wanted to go to Lima, Peru for New Years Last Year. But I thought it would be boring so I went Asuncion, Paraguay and that was literally the most boring city I've ever been too.

[@isaacmera8308]

Bro, New Years in Lima is FUCKING LIT!!!!!! Just make sure you stay in Lima (Lima city or surroundings like the beaches to the south that are still part of Lima) the party never ends. Starting the new year partying next to a beach is next level, and as I said the party doesnt stop for like 2 days.

[@ScottPilgrimXK]

Bro u gotta do a video talking more about Bolivia, those experiences where things dont work as expected or where people is less receptive are key

[@AustonHolleman]

Coming up next!

[@kelechiaguocha6125]

I had a layover in Lima, Peru 🇵🇪 and I had a great experience. I also had a layover in Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱 as well. I will be visiting both cities soon.

[@ceeIoc]

It seems Auston bases his opinion on a country by how receptive the women are.

[@AustonHolleman]

Yes because the navigation of the streets is based around women

[@blankpaper1]

His basis for leaving the United States was because of the western women there being insufferable. Honestly, that's why the majority of us are here on this channel in first place. Be real, you really mean to tell me that Auston's audience are merely just globally inquisitive and not trying to see the vibes from the foreign women that western men receive especially the ones who are black. Bro, it's time to take an honest look at yourself in the mirror or get your @$$ off this channel and head over to Wolters World Travelers vlog.

[@ezmarktc2696]

You actually can tell the woman's perspective. If the dating scene is good for men its bad for women and if it's good for women it's bad for men

Welcome to Peru,.....enjoy your stay

[@andrewrivera4609]

I grew up in Lima since I had 9 years old and have travelled some, If You like surfing Lima is a Paradise, You have a Lot of good beaches 40 minutes south is Punta hermosa with cheap places to stay and meet with people of Australia, South África, Indonesia, etc, etc, USA, besides You get basically whole natural food almost everywhere really cheap, You also have, San Bartolo, Caballeros, Señoritas, places where You can stay and learn to surf and meet with healthy & fun people.

[@clintonmutombo3691]

What was is the location called where you stayed?

[@blackmantravel6954]

I recommend always wear your seat belt while travelling in a car in most countries in South America.

[@thomasvanantwerp728]

Auston, have you come down with traveler's stomach in your South American travels? I got such a severe case of it in Lima that I had to come back to the states early. It ruined my Peruvian travel plans completely.

[@jonplay3602]

He's not lying about the craziness of the driver's there unlike anything I've ever seen on the topic though 1 hour Uber ride will cost you about $12 got a pizza delivered with the tip was $13 you definitely feel like a baller there

[@ej1692]

What do you consider a good price for a nice air bnb ? Most places in Latin America these days will run you anywhere from 1000-1300 a month. It’s almost the same across all major Latin cities. Doing my own research in Lima, I just found a place that was a huge 1 bedroom for 900 a month in a prime location with great reviews. That’s cheap. You got ripped off while you were there because you booked like 4 days in advance bro lol

[@moneylineparlay105]

You can always negotiate the price

[@ej1692]

@@moneylineparlay105 in this market most will decline your offer. There is way too much demand and people willing to overspend. Even if they do go down, it’s not by much

[@CoachT-gr1wo]

As a Peruvian I agree. But you didn't go to Tarapoto my friend, that is where the ladies are at.

Coastal food which is the capital is typically better than the food in the rural parts

[@henry-5676]

Food is good there, but women are not

[@Rodo3919]

Actually outside of Miraflores and maybe barranco there’s much more to see. As real Lima ppl prefer non commercial or touristy area. There’s a lot to see in Lima and Miraflores is only what tourist know but outside of that is much better trust me. And definitely better looking girls for sure. Just find the right locals not just any “limeños”
