Best Place to Stay in Lima? | Miraflores Vs. Barranco 

I'm Peruvian. I was born in Barranco. I currently live in Europe for more than 20 years. Every time I see videos of Lima, especially Barranco, it makes me want to cry. I miss my city a lot, I miss my Barranco neighborhood. I am glad that you like my neighbourhood.

I have lived in Miraflores since 2009 (and I plan on staying). It is a great place to live; however expensive by Peru standards; however (again) much, much less expensive than my previous locations (Tokyo) and before that San Francisco. In my opinion - Barranco is a nice half-day visit whereas Miraflores has much more to offer, as you noted.

First to comment. I think this country needs to be added to the list.❤

Hello , I was born in Lima. I invite you tu visit another district as Magdalena del Mar, in Lima. Cheaper prices and a family vibe in front of the ocean. The Mercado is so rich in culture and food. Thanks for reading my words

Nice omg Lima Peru I will put in my list

Welcome to Peru, guys, welcome to eat, tiger's milk, black oysters, pescado a lo macho, (macho fish), tiraditos, arroz con mariscos, and the fabulous many ceviches, don't forget to pollo a la braza Norkys, y anticuchos rústica, and many many more great dishes, enjoy Lima,... greetings from usa,.....

To me there are two different districts, Miraflores is a modern barrio and on the other side Barranco still keeps houses of almost 150 years. I enjoyed both of them. Wish there were more barrios near the ocean like both. Great video guys 👍🏻

Barranco ❤❤

HOLA CHICOS. BIEN VENIDOS A PERÚ, TODO LO QUÉ SE COME ES MUY RICO, CAPITAL DE LA GASTRANOMIA, DISFRUTEN SU ESTADÍA LES MANDO UN BESO.

Next time, San Isidro ❤

En verano el sunset es hermoso en Miraflores 👍🏻😉

Thanks for visiting Peru, I hope you enjoyed your stay, Lima is much better in summer time, maybe next time. Cool video guys.

Good videos guys, next visit try summer time, with sunshine Lima feels happier and you can stay in beach towns close to Lima like San Bartolo and Punta Hermosa where you also find hotels, there is restaurants and some night life too. Hasta la vista !

Gracias por visitar mi país.

Great observations. Glad you had a good time in my birth country. I'm looking forward to spending much more time there once in retire next year. The $28/night airbnb price gives you good indication on how much more you get for your hard earned dollar down there.

I recomend to You to taste ceviche at Punto Azul restaurant in Miraflores, and drink a glass of popular drink chilcano de pisco in traditional Bolívar Hotel (second floor) on Plaza San Martin (historic Center).

You have other options like Magdalena, Lince , Santa Beatriz, Surco, San Borja, Jesus Maria, San Isidro ...

I love it ( peru)

The town of Barranco (Ravine) is older, and more bohemian than Miraflores (Look-flowers). Miraflores is a more commercial, middle-class area. Miraflores is not really a wealthy residential area like La Molina, Monterrico, San Isidro, or the gated towns of La Planicie, or Las Casuarinas, which are affluent. Downtown Lima, is older than Barranco, and older neighborhoods, which are now dangerous areas are Rimac, where the San Cristobal hill is located, and Barrios Altos, which have two older historical famous Peruvian cemeteries. These areas start it in the 1500s, and had its best years during the Viceroyalty of Peru in the 1600s, and 1700s.

Miraflores for sure

Thanks for the comparison of these two great cities. I will definitely visit both soon.

Are most of the foods fried ? Were the people swimming with wet suits on, or bathingsuit swimming ? Thanks for good video, costs. /art.

Where did y'all stay or book the studio apartment?

Neither. San Isdiro should be your choice.

Linda pareja , Dios los bendiga .

:D

No dude Cuzco is not the ''real'' Peru, there are many Perus, and Cuzco is just one of this realities but its population just represents 1% of Peru's population, Lima instead has almost 35% of Peru population, sadly because of centralization and 1970's -80's terrorism. In addition Lima is very mixed (food, people, music, etc) and by far more ''modern'', crazy, dangerous, open-minded etc than Cuzco. Also Lima has a very coast-sea tradition, Cuzco instead is hilly/ ''andino'' (from the andes) and indigenous. Also I would say that you just visited a few part of Lima that along with other ''prosperous'' districts represents aprox just the 40% of a 12million city that is vibrant but also problematic. Nowadays you can find a lot of people that migrated from many parts of Peru and the biggest community of Venezuelans (around 1.5mill) in the world that its been imprinted other trait to Lima. Greeting and enjoy Cuzco!!!.
