I was not born in Lima (I'm from the jungle, Pucallpa) but Lima is charming, chaotic and beautiful with the most beautiful mixtures, the region between Asia and the new world, its diversity is reflected in its famous gastronomy, being the gastronomic capital of the Americas, Lima offers the best restaurants in the world.

Lima is my fave city in SA. As I strolled through the bustling streets of Miraflores, the warm sun on my skin and the smell of freshly cooked ceviche in the air, I felt a sense of vibrancy and energy that's hard to find elsewhere. I stopped at a local café and enjoyed a rich Peruvian coffee, watching the lively scene unfold before me, as the day drew to a close, I headed to the Malecón, the scenic cliffside promenade that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The sunset was stunning, with the sky turning pink and orange as the waves crashed against the shore. I gazed out at the breathtaking view, I felt grateful for this experience in Lima. The city's unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty had captured my heart, and I couldn't help but think that Lima was the best city in South America to live in. The warm and welcoming people, the delicious food, the vibrant neighborhoods it all came together to create a truly special place, really a very special place.

Every year we travel to Peru, we fall in love with the wonders of this country and especially with its delicious food.

Hello from Peru and many thanks for your video. We limeños are very humble people. We know we have one of the best cities in Latin America , but we prefer to hide it , because some people from other regions in Latin America will try to put Lima way down on the list. I appreciate your honesty and good quality videos. Lima was the main center of Viceroyalty that is why its colonial arquitecture is so wonderful. We take care a lot about our Parks because we love them. We are watering public gardens using tanker trucks, what has double value. The beauty is not free. Lima is becoming the new pretty girl in the neighbourhood. New big Airport City, New subway, etc. Even the shanty areas are made out of hard working class people with thousands and thousands of micro-enterpreneurs.

Miraflores in Lima reminded me of a blend between Santa Monica and Malibu due to its green cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Lima is a wonderful city, as vast as LA, and its traffic can get as jammed as in LA. I stayed in Miraflores for the first week, and for the second week, I was at an Airbnb in Barranco. The traffic could get hectic. Both Miraflores and Barranco are the safest and best options to stay in Lima. They have the best hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, bars, etc., all easily accessible by walking distance.

Lima was the beloved city of the Spanish Empire and was as modern as Madrid. Viceregal Lima not only enjoyed a high cultural level, it also enjoyed an exacerbated wealth and luxury reflected in the beautiful architecture of its palaces, churches, cathedrals, museums, universities and mansions of European Renaissance style,... fused with the Inca contribution.

Thank you for the honest view showcasing a little bit of everything. As you probably realized, the contrasts between neighborhoods like Villa el Salvador and Miraflores are part of Lima's everyday life full of inequality and unfortunate situations. Overall, it looks like you had a safe and pleasant stay. As I tell people abroad: it's great for visiting, but no so much for being born and raised. Social mobility is nearly impossible across generations, but working class Peruvians struggle very hard to break through and improve their quality of life. You are very welcome whenever you feel like visiting again. Perhaps, you can try getting a place in more "average" places like Surquillo (next to Miraflores) or Lince (next to San Isidro) so you get a better sense of how everyday life is for the middle class.

Top knotch restaurants + milions of soles invested in restauration of squares , plazas, colonial streets, etc. Besides this, it is a cheap city and safer than most of others cities in Latin America.

Soooooo ???? Who cares? LIMA, THE CITY OF KINGS, HAS BEEN NAMED THE BEST "EUROPEAN CITY".....😅😅😅😅😅

lmao no. Santiago, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Curitiba and so on are much better cities

Hay ciudades mejores que Lima en sudamerica. Lima es sucia,carente de vegetación y parques públicos,tiene uno de los peores transportes públicos de America y el peor tráfico. ¿ en donde dejas a Santiago o Buenos Aires ?

Dry, gray, crowded, poor, contaminated & overly large with a few nice areas as exemptions.

It could be any city in Latin America.

The only thing Lima is number in 1 in south America is regarding food.

lima no es para nada la mejor ciudad de Latinoamérica, hay ciudades mucho mejores para vivir

Con suerte, puedo inspirar pensamientos y debates sobre las mejores ciudades de América del Sur.

This dude is hilarious. At least he showed some of the poverty. Lima is beautiful, and terribly ugly. The only way to truly know the space is to occupy it. The super gringo overtone of the narrator makes me cringe as a fellow American. You can tell he gets his own version of Lima delivered to him.

I have not yet made it to Buenos Aires. I'm going to have to schedule a trip, so that I can make the comparison for myself. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!

​@@oldaloneandfarfromhomeMr. Fernando Palazuelo, cousin of the Spanish king Juan Carlos, said in lima, you could easily walk five centuries in one block of beautiful architecture, baroque, arabesque, etc, in the meantime Buenos Aires, pretty much two hundreds fifty years old, of yes, great buildings more similar to New York City, before the invention of the amazing American skycrapers,...Lima is beautiful, without a doubt, besides was the mother capital for almost two centuries of all the Spanish colonies in South America, you couldn't be wrong Sir,.... greetings from the USA,....

Buenos Aires, as a city, is vast and indeed has a vibrant cultural life, with theater shows and concerts happening all year round. Buenos Aires and Lima are entirely different, yet they are both my favorite capitals in Latin America. Buenos Aires is unique and vibrant with so much to do. However, the summers can be unbearable, causing every sensible person to flee to Mar de Plata or Punta del Este to enjoy the beach. The only aspect of Buenos Aires that I don't appreciate is its lack of an ocean, unlike Lima. For those of us who grew up in a place like Sydney, Australia, we do appreciate big cities close to the beach.

Buenos Aires is the closest thing to Madrid, Spain, it doesn't have a magical touch of Egypt, Spain and Asia like there is in Lima.

Lima is horrible!! Its a sad city with sad people
