Hermano deberías probar y venir acá un tiempo, claro que acá también hay problemas y gente corta de mente pero nada como el kkk u organizaciones dedicadas a atacar a una etnia específica
Lived in Lima off and on for 15 years. Now retired and built my home on the northern Beach, Pimentel. Been in Pimentel 5 years now with wife (Peruvian ) and 2 boys. I have a coffee business. The best coffee I have had comes from Cajamarca (San Ignacio plantation). #Cafe936.
Married my wife in Magdalena in 2004. We frequented the mercado there almost daily. The best place for ceviche and fish is Cevicheria De Luz in the mercado.
God bless you bro, i'm peruvian liviing in Japan , 2025 going back to my country Peru, I'm from the jungle of Peru and your video just made me so happy and just want to tell you we need ore people like you
It was a busy blue collar neighbirhood. Full of kind ppl....we weren't expecting that. The ppl here have been real New York'ish....not mean but not welcoming either.
Daily life is well shown in your video. My wife is Peruvian and we just moved to Peru after living in California the last 15 years there . We are moving to the amazing town of Oxapampa ………life is good
All of South America is on my “Been Their, Done it and can’t wait to do it again list. With the exception of Venezuela and Brazil! Ecuador and Colombia should not be over looked. And if you desire a European Adventure that’s twice as European as Europe and 1/10th of the cost. Go to Buenos Aires!
Just visited this part of Lima yesterday and it was fun. Loving the city and being on the ocean. Lima is overlooked because so many past through en route to Machu Picchu. But Lima’s food scene is pretty spectacular and I love the cafes and the malecón.
My husband is in Lima right now visiting all his family for Christmas. He is bringing back lots of paneton. Make sure to try some! It is a staple at Christmas time. And of course try one picarones. Safe travels.
enjoy it as much as you can here in Peru there are varieties of food with organic products, be it fruit or all foods, it is very guaranteed and healthy, welcome friend
Yeah, when I told people about it, NY, my birth state came to mind. What really made it great was I was getting the best of both worlds; a cosmopolitan feel with a bit of beach life. The combo is what really sold me. I have to say though, I won't go during the colder season ever again at night the indoors were like being in an icebox Sept, Oct to early Nov. burrrrrrr! Hope to arrive in Nov next time when things are starting to get a little warmer.
i was there on the 25th and stayed the month of december and came home january 5th ive spent my last 3 christmas in Lima its a great place during the holidays.
Wow, you two time flies! I’ve been living here, In Mexico for 2.3 years now and I’m ready again for a change and perhaps get another residency going. I thought back to your videos and remember that Lima was one of Aprils fave. I was going to Chile next month but the one-way flight the cheapest is like 20,000 pesos so I decided to slow travel and visit Lima for three or four months first. My best friend in Missouri also owns a Peruvian restaurant called Café Cusco and he has told me his live and travels to Peru from his college date as a missionary. It is what inspired him to open this very popular restaurant in Springfield, Missouri. Anyway, I’m rambling on but long story short I’m booking my flight for September 8 to Lima .
Where y’all going next. If you still got time I HIGHLY suggest this mountainous valley about $40 dollar plane ride from you called Cuzco nicknamed the sacred valley I am going to follow y’all tracks in Puerto Viejo
Loving it, keep these wonderful videos coming, I'm seeing places I must visit when I return later in 2023. Next up for me is going to be Colombia, then maybe in July, I'll pop over to one of the places you guys did a video about, Albania. We'll see. Hope you guys continue to enjoy your time in Peru.
NICE VIDEO, LOVE THE MARKET AND MARTIN'S COFFEE SHOP☕️☕️☕️ I HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GO TO MACHUPICHU AND VISIT CUSCO BEFORE LIVING PERU, YES...OF COURSE AFTER ALL THIS PROBLEMS WITH THE PRESIDENT MESS FINISH..FELIZ NAVIDAD Y PAZ CON PROSPERIDAD EN 2023...🤗🤗🌠🌠.
Peru mostly export green coffee beans and have very few roasteries so it’s actually hard to find a good coffee as it’s all about the roasting and the time between roasting and brewing. I love Peru so much I’m now inspired to return!
Awesome! One thing to note in many Latin American countries that grow coffee- they export the best stuff. The cheap stuff will not be the best quality. We went to Costa Rica where a lot of coffee is grown but the regular coffee in shops was not ....great. There is a third wave coffee movement in many places. They shops will be fancier, appeal to those who can afford fancy beans.
You ever notice that there are not a lot of Black people where you are located in Lima? None working in Banks nor public facing businesses. Colorism is alive and well in Lima. One of the reasons we left Lima and purchase our home in the north. Beautiful beaches and people in the north. Not a Euro environment like Lima.
Yes we noticed...its alive and well throughout Latin America. With few exceptions, it's one of our criticisms of the region. Never been good at accepting the way this are though I will plop my black behind down in the middle of wherever and change that area.
There are plenty in Athletics, check out the soccer teams. Alianza Lima was actually born out of the Afro culture of Lima. Also, Lima has the first and perhaps only black Saint in all of the Americas, San Martin de Porres. There are even Districts named after him. Many of our National Team heroes are Afro descendants. The Afro population usually live in Chincha down south and in Chiclayo up in the north. Lima has also had Afro artists like Eva Ayllon, the Diva of Peru, and plenty of others like Susana Baca, now a congresswoman or beloved singer El Sambo Cavero. Our gastronomy is also full of Afro legacy, picarones, anticuchos, etc. Dances like Festejo with the cajon of box percussion are loved by Peruvians.
@@etchalaco9971 Thanks, my wife is AfroPeruvian born in Peru and her family is mostly in Chiclayo. The Afto community in the North is Zaña , 20 minutes from where we live, it is the home of the Afro-Peruvian museum sanctioned by UNESCO. Further north there is Morropon in Piura, it is a Afro town where my Wife's grandmother was born and raised. Many blacks are settled in the north from Chiclayo to Piura and Tumbes. Zaña was once the capital of Peru and the agricultural center, the port of Pimentel (where we own a home on the beach), is where the agriculture of Zaña was exported south. Zaña was abandoned because of floods and pirate raids and most of the slave owners left while the slaves stayed behind. There is a rich Afro history in the north, but most people know of Chincha in the south. The Howard University Choir did a concert in Zaña a few tears ago. There is a rich history of Afro culture here.
@@etchalaco9971 There is a University here San Martín de Porres. If you ever visit the north, Zaña has a refurbished Finca home called Casa Malambo. The players of Alianza are called GRONE (a play on the word Black"Negro"
Me encantó tu video, ojala regresen y vengan a provincias. Si estuvieron hace 9 meses supongo que se deben haber topado con las violentas protestas y no pudieron venir al interior del país.
