Why we love Lima, Peru!

[@aramis4596]

Peru is a very beautiful country that is worth returning to as many times as possible. Their gastronomy, their culture, and wonderful people make them unique.

[@chrisandamanda490]

We will definitely be back many more times!

Hi there, love your video. Just for interest, Asian cuisine influence is big in Peru. Ceviche is influenced by the Japanese community, (sashimi), lomo saltado by the Chinese, it's cooked on a wok and soya sauce is the key ingredient, sometimes oyster sauce as well. In fact 90% of Peruvians have soya sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil in their kitchen cabinet. Hope you return .

Whenever I'm in Lima, I always think that it resembles LA. Big coastal city on a bay, people love surfing and beach culture, cliffs above the beach, people dress in that casual LA way. Great sunsets at the beach.

As a side note, the song you heard everybody singing in mercado San Ramon is called "Contigo Perú", it was composed by Polo Campos in 1977 as a request from former president Francisco Morales Bermúdez, it was meant to be a song for our national football (Soccer) team, supposedly they closed the deal and Polo Campos went for a coffee, he started composing on the back of his coffee recipt and finished the song 15 minutes later. Nowadays it's more like Perús second anthem, that's why everybody was singing along. As a Peruvian I swear every time I hear that song I get goosebumps like every other Peruvian. I really liked your video, thanks for visiting my country and sharing your experience.

It went way beyond our expectations! Definitely underrated. We got duped by a few Google reviews but the places that were good were incredible. For me, too 3 would be ceviche, pollo a la brasa, and lomo saltado. I think Amanda liked the cuy

[@alvarollanos2126]

The food here in lima is godly!! Most people here in Peru dont use trip advisor or such rating apps for restaurants, we mostly recomend trough word of mouth or social media. So most reviews you will find on google are made by foreigners that consider the food is good but not the locals. Your best bet to try the best food in lima is to get recomendations from locals or by looking at locals social media, there are many gastronomic gurus that go around the city to try and rate the best food around. Next time you come consider that, there is so much more you have not tried such as anticuchos, picarones, caldo de gallina, chanfainita, rocoto relleno and much more, definately hope you come back to try more places!!!

I liked your video and is good to know u loved my city. But if u think ppl from Lima is friendly you have to visit other places that are even warmer with the visitors.

Very nice video. I hope you get the chance to learn more about the fascinating history of Perú and visit the inlands as well. In terms of your food review, you should know that what you have tried is not Chinese food, it is Chinese-Peruvian cuisine called Chifa, it is a fusion, and that is what enhances Peru's richness; the influence of so many ethnicities that you will see reflected in the gastronomy, demographic make up, customs and inclusiveness. There is much more to see in Lima

It is not easy to find good restaurants in Lima as there are way too many and some of them are not even ran anymore by peruvian chefs, because inmigrant wage is way cheaper. I agree that Tanta is not suprising, it is more like a safe option when you just want to eat some standard quality food. The food you guys tried is actually just food from the coast, so you are actually missing to try some from the mountains and jungle region, which is very different. Also, could have tried more classic day to day peruvian food like aji de gallina, cau cau, carapulcra, etc, which are also very good
