Another friendly correction by me: its not cocaine leafs its coca leafs, the leaf itself is harmless it.has to go through a chemical process to.be turned into the drug, the leaf is used for candy and tea

[@mikvas8088]

I was going to write the same, well said! Cocaine isn't coca plant, a gr. of cocaine is nearly 50 kilos of coca leaves chemical reduced with gasoline and other kinds of stuff like that.

Good tips. 👍 Tipping is “optional”, but it is expected. 10% is a good tip. Locals tend to round up the bill amount, but tourists usually tip better. ;) Thank you for promoting Lima, Peru.

I was in Guadalajara one time and I watched Italian tourists talk in Italian to the train attendants. The train attendants talked back in Spanish. They were able to under each other more than adequately. I guess if you've mastered one Latin based language you can talk to others who speak a different Latin based language. It's not a perfect translation but you will understand each other.

[@DiegoMT1292]

Another thing is to avoid carrying lots of cash in your pockets. Peru is a beautiful country but also they are many thieves (pickpocket). And this accidents happen in the day and night. Try to just take with you a decent amount of money that you might be considering spending the day.. This is what I do. Every time I visit Peru and I’m planning to go shopping, I just take around 300-400 soles in cash( 200 dollars). Because there is a risk someone with a knife or gun can stop me and steal everything that I have with me ( this is true, unfortunately) That’s why I prefer taking just a few amount of cash that can cover my ride to and from the shopping mall, food , and the things I will be buying at the shopping mall(souvenirs, clothes,etc). And if I really like something else, and I’m out of cash, I can come back again, maybe the same day or the next day to go and get it.. It’s not a good idea to be wandering in the streets of Lima with lots of shopping bags, that can attract these “muggers”. It’s always better to have a ride ready as soon as you leave (in this case exiting the mall with your shopping bags) so you can go straight to your ride and be safe. ***If unfortunately you become a victim, DONT fight back, or Refuse to give your belonging, these people have guns and they will do everything to obtain their purpose.

Whether you are a native speaker or you learned Spanish as a second language, you can understand Spanish from any other Spanish speaking country. Differences are not that abysmal. Assuming that they are is like saying Canadians can't understand a word of Australian English, which is not true. Of course, there are some differences, but both are mutually intelligible.

[@TangerineTravels]

True! What we found particularly difficult were food names being completely different. For instance, we know avocado as “aguacate” in Mexico and in Lima it was “palta.” That’s not really an accent difference so ordering food was tricky, especially with some food allergies we have.

Nice video guys ! So sad to hear about the holes in the windows, it’s not really a common thing here in Lima. It was weird to see that. I think they did it to ventilate when no one is there. but yeah a lot of people don’t have heaters or aircon just because the weather is not that extreme. We do normally use heavy bedding for the winter. I hope one day you can come on the summer and enjoy some of the nice weather and fun things to do. Like going to machupichu in Cusco. My favorite thing to do in Peru is go to the Jungle in Iquitos or Tarapoto, or the high lands in Huaraz. It’s amazing, the people are great and I love to see the wild life there.

usually the different power outlet is no problem, we have almost everywhere 230 Volts in Europe and for me travelling in America North and South has never been a problem. Usually the devices "use" less current, what solves the problem, if you have a higher voltage. (P = U*I, so U or I can vary, P is almost steady) And anyhow, each phone or laptop works perfectly fine with the built in converter in the charger. Greets from quarantine :P

[@dblasbravo]

DO NOT miss the parties in Lima. We have very nice discos in Barranco and Miraflores. 😁👌

[@mitoda]

I wouldn't do Uber in Lima, there are safer apps like Easy Taxi or Cabify. Apparently Uber stopped doing background screenings on drivers. When you use your credit cards, don't let them take it out of sight, it is common for them to bring a wireless POV machine to the table to pay with credit cards and be ready to have ID ready as well.

[@ChrlyC]

You biggest mistake it was spend a whole week in Lima, most of the travelers just use Lima to arrive to Peru but the real experience to be in Peru is visit Cuzco, Valle Sagrado, Machupichu, Titikaka Lake, Nazca, a week should be enought to visit most of the places.

[@TangerineTravels]

Thank you for the recommendations! Through our travels, we've come to prefer spending more time in each place rather than jumping from one thing to the next in quick succession.

Yes I know, I think similar, I went also 10 days and invested two or there days in each place and believe me I want to back to Perú soon.

Peru speaks Castellano, or Castilian. Also, Quechua is an official language. Peru is a multilingual country, there are many languages spoken, depending on the part of the country, like Ashaninka, Bora, Aymara, and many more. In addition to the foreign ones, like Mandarin, and Cantonese, spoken in the Chinatown area, or German, in Oxapampa, or Pozuzo. There are even some African words mix with the Peruvian Castellano, in places like Chincha, in the Ica, region. And Peruvian food uses Peruvian ingredients like potatoes, hot peppers, fish, quinoa, lucuma, and so on. There are many ancient Peruvian dishes such as pachamanca, carapulcra, and so on. Peruvian food has also blended, European, Asian, and African, styles. Peruvian dishes like, aji de gallina, estofado, tallarines verdes, chupe de camarones, parihuela, helado de lúcuma, juanes, paiche, arroz con pato, seco de cabrito, empanadas de carne, turron de Doña Pepa, alfajores, and so on, are delicious. And Mexico speaks a Spanish that is a blend with the Nahuatl language of the Aztecs. Spain, speaks a Spanish, with many Arab words, since the Arabs, and Muslims occupied Spain for 800 years. Good video. Good luck.

Locals tip whatever they feel like tipping. Normally 1-5 soles are tipped out of courtesy. 10 soles too but rarely. But you don't have to tip that's why people are so grateful when you do. If you didn't like the service don't tip, that's the mentality.

And you are right when it comes to TIPS, that is not a tradition in Peru. 10% is a good tip because servers don't expect to receive one.

[@TangerineTravels]

We thought that might be the case. Another commenter said that 10% was too much and 1-2 soles is okay since waiters receive a normal salary as it is.

[@jaimexcas]

Percy i dont know if you live in Perú, but it is EXPECTED to give típs in Lima, specially where they are. In restaurants usually you give around 10 %. Personally if my Bill comes around 50 soles, i leave 5 soles as tip. If you are with another person and your Bill is 120. You leave around 7 to 10 soles (no more). If you are a Big group, everyone leave like 2 soles for the waiter. 10 % is not always the rule, tipping in Lima is more like a common sense. (Tengo 34 años viviendo en Lima).
