Ceviche traditionally is raw fish cooked in lime juice, it gets kind of a weird sensation the first time that is eaten, but with the time it get so normal as any entries dish. It is cooked like that since centuries ago, even centuries before Inca civilization appears😊 About JFK Park, Jhon Kennedy came to Peru I think in 60s but before he died, he visited Lima and its at that time new suburbs in the periphery of the City where migrants very poor from the countryside arrived to stablish there. The Peruvian Gouverment in that time was politically a Right-side gouverment that's why his visit and the homage of that park after his death.

[@CultureShockAddict]

You're definitely very knowledgeable, I could have used you as my tour guide 😅😅. Thank you so much for watching and educating everyone!

[@alex.1988]

It was Bobby Kennedy in his campaigns

Cuzqueña is another beer i would suggest.It's a premium beer...local favorite.Welcome to Perú.

[@CultureShockAddict]

The Cuzquena was definitely one of my favs! I tried each of the 4 flavors and each one was very good. Thank you for watching! Saludos! 🍻

[@arthurcamasi6274]

It's been a week since we came back from Peru, my wife and friends from Texas loved it. We visited Cusco, Ayacucho, Piura and obviously Lima, what a great time we had and because of El Niño we had lots of sunny days in Miraflores by the sea. One month of fun. We'll be back for sure.

Visited Lima in 2012 for 9 days and stayed in Mira Flores. Walked the streets downtown, across the river and into Remac. Loved Lima. A very modern city thats very diverse economically. Poped into a pretty known Chino-Latino Peruvian restaurant downtown somewhere famous for their cerviche and they had live music. Came close to having some drama in a nightclub in Mira Flores, but was able to ignore by playing ignorant to the fools pressing us and it de-escalated the situation. Alcohol makes people act stupid so we kept it moving. Made a mistake and ordered eggs sunnyside up for breakfast at a restaurant and ended up curled up in a ball on the cold tile floor of my hotel bathroom for the entire night. the next day wasnt fun either waslking around downtown and having to sh!t in a different restaurant every hour. Had a great time otherwise.....really I did!!!

[@Zikotikabasada]

Ojalá toda Lima fuera así

[@aronzimas5660]

My recommendation is never drink anything that's not bottled. I made that mistake with fruit juice. Lost an entire day.

Sometimes is good to read about the plae you are visiting, the cats at the park are not really stray cats. They belong to the park and they are fed and taken care by the city and some volunteers. Visitors enjoy petting them.

Bro there was a very good restaurant in "Malecón Miraflores Blvd" You was walking there!! The restaurant is "Punto Azul", near "El parque del amor" and is much better than the other you visited. Not only because the Quality of the food, is due to the amazing overview over the ocean pacific and parks. I hope You can visit that place next time. Miraflores has been My neighboorhood for more 20 years. Thanks for sharing your experience!

You should drink Cusqueña for beer and lomo saltado as for a dish. I love ceviche but it seems you didn’t like it much. If you go to Arequipa the food is the best there. It’s the 2nd largest city in Peru and it’s one hour from Lima.

[@luissanquis4338]

Try to go to Huacachina oasis or Paracas, they are nearby Lima and beautiful. Also try Isolina for traditional Peruvian food

[@CultureShockAddict]

I stopped by there one night. By the time I figured out it was a great spot, it was a bit late. It's my fault I didn't get to fully experience it because I hardly do any research. Thank you for watching Franco! Cheers 🍻

[@aronzimas5660]

Peruvian here. They don't usually put jalea and ceviche in the same plate because of the citrus juice. They didn't serve you Rocoto (hot peper) and it was the chicharron was almost all calamari (cheaper for them). It didn't look particularly good. You didn't go to a good sea food restaurant. You want something good? There is a restaurant called La Lucha in the Kenedy Park. Get a "Pan con Chicharron with fries". Also Chicharron just means something like deep fried, it can be fish or porc. When it's with bread it's understood it's porc. In a fish place it's fish.

Hi! When you eat Peruvian food you must combine the foods, little part with the other, so you will get the appropriate Peruvian taste! Welcome!

Miraflores isn’t the richest area. Is the Tourist/new downtown Lima has. The richest areas are La Molina, San Isidro and the southern beach towns. Like everywhere in the world, the richest don’t like dealing with tourists. I hope you visit the old downtown too.
