Miraflores: One of Lima, Peru's Top Neighborhoods

[@robertLee-be4rn]

Greetings from Jamaica .Love your videos, I can't wait to visit Lima.I have already made plans to visit with my wife and daughter in April.Nuff(lots)love!

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Thank you so much! You and your family will have a wonderful time in Lima. Miraflores and Barranco were two of the most incredible neighborhoods that I have ever visited!

[@jbayer7073]

Perú is Amazing The Peruvian Food is delicious 😋 is the best

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

You are absolutely right! Loved Peru and loved the food.

[@gogogo815]

Excellent description of this incredible city. Peru has one of the best food on earth. I’m glad you enjoyed the food and the country❤✨

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Thank you! Peruvian cuisine might be my favorite that I have tried so far. I would love to return to Peru in the future!

[@StuartRochabrunt]

My wife and I spent countless days and hours of joy walking down those streets 30 years ago. Even our first kiss happened there, looking at the ocean. So many memories, so many moments of happiness. Thank you very much.

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

How cool that my video might have inspired some special memories for you. That makes me feel fantastic! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to share your comment with me!

[@aliciaenders]

My neighbourhood , and my city ❤️

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Miraflores is awesome!

[@heatherstephenson4371]

The views of the Pacific from the top of the cliffs are beautiful, but I think I would spend most of my time sitting on those rocky beaches listening to the rocks in the surf! Spectacular!

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Yeah, the camera couldn't capture the sound adequately. It is so unique and strangely soothing! Miraflores is really special!

[@ricos_road6328]

I spent two months based in Lima traveling all around Peru. I think if you’re staying there long term barranco is the way to go. It’s a lot more laid back than miraflores and just as safe. I think the views from the cliffs there are better and the cafes and art galleries are way more abundant and authentic. I loved every second of my life there.

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Barranco is phenomenal. It's one of the places that I've visited where I could see myself staying there for much longer than a month. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment!

[@pauls1969]

Your videos have convinced me to go to Lima in January - Thank you!

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Great! You will have a great time! Thank you for letting me know.

[@carloseam1]

I am so proud of being peruvian. Thank you for your kind words. I recommend you another part of Lima, the port of El Callao. Beautiful sights at La Punta beach and district as well as excellent food. The Navy museum and the spanish fortress el Fuerte del Real Felipe are just awesome, and even you can explore a submarine of the 50s from inside, the Abtao submarine, now converted in a dinamic museum. I hope everyone will enjoy visiting Lima, you'll be very welcome.

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Thank you for the suggestions. It is inevitable that I will not get to places that I should. Your comments can help viewers have a better experience than I did! I appreciate that so much!

[@elbarbonnhiphop]

We miss this kind of videos, nobody makes them like this anymore. Greetings from Perú :)

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

That is such a great thing to hear from you. I do my best to make videos that others will like and I do that, primarily, by producing content that I would like to see. Thank you for watching!

[@arturowagner4728]

I lived in Miraflores during the Austral Winter of 1999. Larcomar and Parque Kennedy were my hangouts. Thanks for the memories!

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

You are extremely welcome! Miraflores is a spectacular neighborhood!

[@mikeyzedan3379]

This video definitely makes me wanna go to Peru next, your posts are incredible!

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Thank you so much! I was so happy with my decision to go to Peru. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!

[@PaulChristianJenkinsJD]

Frankly, I have watched KZbin videos on Argentina, Mexico, Panama, and other countries, and Peru seems like the nicest blend of everything. Nice people, good food, reasonable rent, etc.

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

I haven't been to all the places in Latin America, obviously, but Peru certainly ranks high on my list! Thank you for watching and for leaving comments!

[@stephen5009]

The Malecón was also my favorite place to start up (or finish) a day when I was living in Peru. Sunsets are out of this world when the weather is good

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Loved the Malecón, but didn't get to see too many sunsets. The ones that I did see were spectacular!

[@carloscastaneda2230]

Amazing video keep de good job Greetings from California

Very nice place. PERU 🇵🇪 RULES!

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

I loved it! I'll have four more videos from there over the next month! Thank you for watching.

[@davidveraok]

_Hello, great video about Miraflores, thanks. The Pacific Ocean in front of Peru has cold waters. On the same latitude in Brazil warmer waters. This cold ocean is due to Humboldt Current or Peruvian Current , what is a very huge amount of water , joining the sizes of Colombia + Venezuela all together. This changes the climate making it cloudy but at the same time, Peru having the richest ocean in the World, no exaggeration involved. From anchoveta is obtained fish meal what is the main ingredient of recipes for poultry, trout fish, shrimp, etc. The cold waters go from South to North bringing an astonishing , unimaginable amount of Plankton. This is the reason why Ceviche was born in Peru and where was found the first fish-net in Americas in Caral 5k years ago. Thanks again for your kind words about Miraflores_

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Awesome comments! Thank you for all of this information!

You are correct! I didn't focus too much on food in this video, but I have an entire video devoted to the food of Lima.

Kudos, sir! Absolutely delighted with your video of my hood where I was born in the late 60s. Looking forward to seeing’Barranco’. All the best!

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

That means so much, coming from someone who is familiar with the neighborhood! I thought both Miraflores and Barranco were exceptional places. You should be proud of where you are from!

[@victorsanchez4351]

Excellent video of my home town hehehe

So glad that you liked it! Miraflores is awesome and I just posted a video of Barranco, which is equally spectacular. Thank you for watching and taking time to add a comment!

¡Muchas gracias! ¡Te agradezco que veas y dejes un comentario tan lindo!

[@charlessell7224]

Great video. As an American living in Miraflores the past ten years, I have grown to love this community despite being more a of a “country boy” from Virginia. One recommendation would be to get your pronunciations correct as the word “Malecón” is Ma-lay-cone with the strong accent on the last syllable. Also the rocks on the beach are made smooth from being washed down out of the mountains. All of the rocks that are further inland in the soil are equally smooth and rounded. You see this in all of the many construction zones where underground parking garages are being dug out for new apartment buildings. Finally, the word for lighthouse is pronounced far-o, not with the long “a” as in the word pharaoh. I get it, Spanish is different, but it would be worth you time to pronounce the few Spanish words in the video correctly. Still an excellent video sir, happy travels.

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Thanks for the kind words! I acknowledge that my pronunciation can be weak. It's something with which I struggle and I try to get better. It's difficult for me, when I have to pronounce words that I haven't heard a native speaker say. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!

Bella capital bañada por el Océano Pacífico 🌊

One of my top memories of living in Peru was in Miraflores. Hell of a place to be.

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

I loved that neighborhood! It seemed as though I felt right at home as soon as I got there.

nice video, brother !

Thanks for the great tips!!!

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Sure thing! It was a lot of fun learning about the neighborhood!

[@garethhughes6107]

Thanks for the vlog, I'm hoping to go in February. Would you say the prices are reasonable for food, drinks, coffees etc in Miraflores?

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Thank you! I believe you will have a great time! Prices in Miraflores are probably high, compared to many other places in Peru. In comparison to prices in the U.S., Canada and western Europe, they will be lower. I hope that helps!

[@gg13308]

[@carloscortijo9687]

I really enjoyed your videos a lot, they are very professional. Informative and entertaining, I am a born peruvian living in Florida for more than twenty years and watching your videos make me wanna go back for a visit( the last time I was there was twelve years ago), your style remindsme of those of Rick Steves' and Rudy Maxa's, travelers that I follow a lot because I'm also a traveler though I like to do it my family, congratulations on your channel and I am glad you had a great time in Lima.

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Those are absolutely wonderful comments to read. Thank you very much! I hope that you are enjoying Florida and can make it back to Peru, if you want!

[@RafaelMercadoSalas]

Great content. Thank you for promoting my country. If you allow me to give you some advice as a photographer and videographer: Your shots are too static. I think the places would look better if your shots included horizontal pans and vertical tilts. That would make the video much more dynamic and the context in which each place is located would be better understood.

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

I appreciate your kind words! I always pay attention to suggestions from others.

[@jorgemoralesavendano]

Wait, that chinese spot must be new... I've been abroad for only a year and do not know it 😂 That's a great video sir ! 🙌🏿💚☀️🌊

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Thank you so much! Parque Chino apparently opened in late February of 2022. It's a cool little spot!

[@MamaKat40203]

I was at the Parque del Amor on Valentine’s Day in 1999. They had a kissing contest, and a huge crowd of visitors. My baby was in her stroller, and a toddler walked up and kissed her. It was a very festive and joyous atmosphere! 🎉🎉🎉

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

That sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing the story! I appreciate you watching my little video.

[@HIPHOPCITIZENSHOW]

I was at Parque Del Amor with some natives. I was informed it’s a popular suicide destination for couples who have had illicit affairs or children out of wedlock

[@Hugo-ZOLUXIONESSolucionesdeNeg]

Along the beach there id a path for cyclists it is safe then you can return over the cliffs watching the sunset it is Long 20 km go and 20 to back

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

I was on the path, but just for a very short distance. I did not know that it was that long. Thank you for adding your experience!

[@alfzizold921]

Neither Miraflores nor Barranco. Maybe the most touristy, yes, but by far not the most upscale. Otherwise congrats on the video, really enjoyed watching it.

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

Thank you! Miraflores and Barranco certainly appealed to me. I wish I could have seen all the different neighborhoods!

Keep it real, Peru / Lima is a dump

That’s very sad to say! You either probably never been or live in a cerro (which is sort of the same).

[@Dimma69]

@kkorova Haha, I live in Australia and I spent time in Lima with my ex-wife, who is Peruvian. The place is a dusty dump

[@kkorova]

@@Dimma69 you probably spent all your time in shantytowns.

[@Dimma69]

@kkorova Every time I've walked through Lima airport, I've always been followed / harassed by young Peruvian females, offering sexual services in exchange for a few dollars. 1 young Peruvian girl even offered me her body for a bloody chicken sandwich! Was that you?

[@rahar_peru]

miraflores and san isidro. Barranco is literally a shithole... 20% tourist area (nice) 20% high end residential, 60% woops... you celphone just got stolen... too bad.

This is true, as an American living in Lima for 8 years.
