amazing day it’s mark wiens just landed
in lima like an hour ago we just arrived
to miraflores which is one of the best
neighborhoods areas of lima to live in

in first we have to go eat lunch we’re
gonna have coffee we might go down to
the beach to the ocean walk around the
park
um this is gonna be a video just living
in miraflores walking around miraflores
but
my first time to ever be here
[Music]
so when i was in i was in peru like when
i was in university it was about 12
years ago
and i absolutely loved it i love
peruvian food but
when i was here last time i didn’t
really spend any time in lima i only
caught my flight
i only caught my flight out of lima so i
didn’t so this time i’m very excited to
explore lima
and to stay in miraflores
yeah keep going
the restaurant i looked up it’s called
it’s called oceano oceano and it’s just
like
it’s just like one more block that way i
believe but it’s one of the closest
restaurants that serves ceviche that i
think looked really good near to the
apartment that we’re staying
and we’re almost there
straight
[Music]
oh man that’s a beautiful assortment of
fruits
avocados and bananas pineapples
we’ll buy fruit later we need to go have
ceviche first
fruit can wait okay yes
this is perfect let’s take a look at the
menu i gotta refresh my
spanish
okay
i love it it’s like dry and powdery on
the inside but
i just got to taste it
oh it’s so good
not that spicy but the flavor is amazing
oh wow oh i’ve missed you aki
one this is ceviche de pescado just the
white fish
ceviche this looks amazing
this one is a ceviche with uh shells
which
are um what are those shells called
horchell all i can think of is the
timing
shrimp octopus onions and fish i’ll
start with just the
normal ceviche with the fish with the
onions with the sweet potato and there’s
corn there too
and get some of the the juice which is
the that’s the leche de tigre which is
the
the marinade juice the lime juice and
the spices that go in there
oh man okay next bite i’ll go with aji
yeah oh it’s so good
that sourness that like punch of
sourness the saltiness the fish that
just melts in your mouth
[Music]
oh
that completes it oh i’m so happy to be
in peru
oh man the refreshingness of that oh and
here comes the fried rice
oh gracias rice oh that smells
incredible
awesome and we’re still waiting for the
fried calamari it’s fried rice chinese
style with seafood
again scallops shrimp in there that
looks good too i want to try the
the scallop and if you take a look at
this i don’t know like there’s a bunch
more onions in this one
and then cilantro and then i’m not sure
if that can’t all be scallop i think
it’s
i don’t know we’ll try it this should be
enough food right or you want to order
more no we have that
chai chattanooga
it’s really good that perfect
sour salty spicy
wow that’s amazing
it’s good too um nice shrimp in that
bite
you can just take the taste the
smokiness of the wok and then the fried
squid just came i’m gonna dip it in the
aki i
[Music]
very happy first meal like we got off
the plane
two hours ago and now sitting down for
this meal after we finish with lunch
we’ll probably walk around more
we’ll go to the ocean maybe have coffee
first food was incredible the ceviche
was amazing but also
the staff the owner they’re so nice
they’re so friendly
very good very highly recommended from
here we’re gonna just walk
uh down probably the next place
i want to go to a coffee shop but i
think before the coffee shop
just due to location we’ll stop by at uh
jfk john f kennedy park which is right
like at the heart of miraflores
[Music]
this is the main road you can catch a
bus here you can get public
transportation and then the
park park kennedy is right across this
street here
okay we go
oh immediately you get that breeze
parker kennedy the trees
the oh man one of the greatest things
about lima is just
the i know there is a hot season but the
right now the weather is just perfect
about 20 degrees i think
and maybe 22. oh yeah and people just
kind of hang out here there’s
benches people are relaxing and sitting
down and hanging out
there’s some romance going on and then
there seems to be
if you look around there’s also a lot of
cats i think somebody did mention to me
that there’s a lot of cats
around as well and if you do oh look at
this little guy
hey guy just relaxing there to the max
[Music]
and now just passing through this
corridor
section pedestrians only
the church is there and then if we go
through this gate then we’ll be in the
central miraflores park
this is looks like kind of like a little
amphitheater
seating section i don’t know if maybe in
the daytime or in the evening they have
little things
going on little events in this area but
kind of like a big
public meeting place area right in the
park
i think we’re just gonna walk around to
the other side and then head back
down in that direction because next from
the park we’re gonna go
walk down towards the the ocean
maybe since we’re right here let’s just
stop in the church real fast
rosa
all very nice they’re singing right now
you can hear that just echo through the
chambers
that’s beautiful and it’s so calming
so
gonna move down walk towards the ocean
you can feel the
the breeze the ocean breeze coming now
oh man it’s such a great i cannot see it
i’ve probably said it a few times
already
miraflores is a wonderful place just to
walk around
small little convenience shop here you
can buy your snacks you can buy your
water and over this view though because
you’ve got that ravine because you’ve
got those roads coming into the ocean
the view of miraflores from here is
wonderful that’s kind of like a central
view of miracles
yeah you can’t cross the street here
because of the center
i think if we go down here we should be
able to go underneath this bridge
highway
this is the first view of the ocean it’s
pretty far down there in the
on the cliff but look that ocean is just
spectacular and it’s just
the waves the the breeze
also what’s amazing is that you can’t
even like see the horizon because
lima’s kind of foggy lima is kind of
not always the clearest air but it’s
gorgeous it’s almost
like mystical
[Music]
[Applause]
this is one of the highlights of
miraflores of
lima is the views of the sea it’s not so
much a swimming beach
but people are surfing because the water
is cold uh but it is like
such a gorgeous scenery such a
just sweeping views
okay we just made it to the shopping
center uh it’s called la comar
and i think it’s open air i don’t know
we’re just gonna walk through check it
out kind of open air lots of restaurants
i know lots of restaurants
they’ve done a good job it’s really nice
like it’s really nice to hang out here
sit at one of the restaurants
enjoy the views of the of the ocean you
can hear the waves down there just
like crashing because it’s kind of a
rocky it is a rocky beach
um and then get over here it’s kind of
more of a
maybe this is the center of the mall
with
with shops and restaurants and cafes oh
yeah that’s a busy place down there
is it called tanta
looks like a nice cafe with beautiful
views again
[Music]
the coffee shop that i want to check out
is called

there’s the sign at the entrance
peruvian what’s cool about this or what
i read why i wanted to come here is they
serve small batch roasted
local coffee and then the whole menu is
written on the tiles on the wall
standing not much seating but just
standing a quick cup of coffee this is
great a little ledge here

cross between a chocolate and a hot
cocoa yeah exactly and
really foamy really frothy nice art
