Lima is one of the most dynamic cities in South America and we're thrilled to showcase some of the top attractions and things to do in the city in this video guide. Our 30 things to do Lima, Peru travel guide highlights some of the top foods to eat in Lima (including Peruvian street food), museums worth checking out and must see attractions along with off-the-beaten track suggestions.
We delve deep into neighborhoods such as Miraflores and Larcomar and offer up suggestions for travel adventure junkies such a paragliding, surfing and biking. To satisfy our taste buds we sample Peruvian cuisine including ceviche, anticuchos, salchipapas, lomo saltado, chifa, nikkei and whole lot more as part of our Lima food guide.
Unfortunately, a lot of tourists skip Lima and head straight for Machu Picchu or the Amazon; however, for those who linger in Lima the reward is hanging out in the foodie capital of Latin America. Join us to find out why!

25 Peruvian Foods You Must Try | Peru Food Guide Travel Video Transcript:
This is part of our Travel in Peru video series showcasing Peruvian food, Peruvian culture and Peruvian cuisine.
We visited LIMA, PERU for a week & this is what happened...
It's our first time in South America! We traveled from Mexico to Peru, and Lima completely took us by surprise.
►Get your Tangerine Travels swag!
In today’s travel vlog, we fly from Cancun, Mexico to Lima, Peru. After taking an Uber to our Airbnb in the heart of Miraflores, our exhaustion from a long travel day caught up with us. Despite wanting to get out and explore Lima, we had to sleep for practically an entire day. That wasn't ideal, but we decided it was better to be refreshed for our week in Lima. After all, we're making our first ever Lima vlog!
A Lima, Peru travel vlog wouldn’t be complete without the neighborhoods of Miraflores and Barranco, so on our first real day in the city, we decided to let a professional cyclist (a Lima local) guide us around on a bike tour of the city.
Miraflores is the most popular neighborhood for travelers visiting Lima. It sits right next to the coast with cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Barranco is Miraflores' colorful, bohemian neighbor, filled with murals, art, and historic architecture.
At first, we were worried the food in Lima wasn't as special as people had led us to believe. The first restaurant we tried, Buena Vista Cafe, was quite underwhelming (not typical food from Peru, though). We soon realized that authentic Peruvian foods like causa, ceviche, anticuchos, cancha, and picarones, are DELICIOUS. The more Peruvian food we tried, the more our mouths were watering for it!
Before our travels to Lima, we weren’t the biggest fans of ceviche but after tasting Peruvian ceviche, it’s now one of our favorite foods on the planet!
Come along with us as we explore the food scene in Lima and visit some popular attractions throughout the city!
------OUR LIMA RECOMMENDATIONS------
WHERE TO EAT IN LIMA, PERU
1. Mangos Restaurant (Peruvian Food, Located in Larcomar)
2. La 73 Restaurant (Peruvian Food, Located in Barranco)
3. Makoto (Japanese Food, Located in Miraflores)
4. Muya (Peruvian Food, Located in Barranco)
5. Panchita (Peruvian Food, Located in Miraflores)
6. Peru Gourmet (Peruvian Food, Located in Historic Center)
WHAT TO DO IN LIMA, PERU
1. Take a bike tour. We found one on Airbnb and felt like it was the perfect way to get ourselves more comfortable with Lima.
2. Visit Parque del Amor. This park is in the Miraflores neighborhood on the malecon. It's a great place to take some pictures and watch the sunset.
3. Explore the Miraflores and Barranco neighborhoods. There are so many things to see, do, and eat in each of these zones in Lima. They are also considered some of the safest parts of the city.
4. Watch the changing of the guards. Every day at 12:00pm, you can see this fantastic ceremony at the Presidential Palace (Palacio de Gobierno) in the historic center. We recommend going early (the concert portion starts at 11:30am) to get a front-row seat.
5. Browse Peruvian arts and crafts at Inca Market. There are a few of these markets to choose from. They all contain thousands of local artesanías (handicrafts) such as blankets, colorful decor, stuffed animal llamas/alpacas, and so much more. You can walk around there for hours!
6. Stroll down the coast. In Miraflores, the malecon runs along the coast for miles. There is a walking/bike path through the entire thing and also benches, workout equipment, dog parks, playgrounds, and tons more to see and do.
7. Visit the 3rd most popular attraction in Peru, Larcomar. This oceanside shopping mall has dozens of shops, restaurants, and cafes.
8. Visit the Pre-Inca Ruins. If you enjoy learning about ancient civilizations and their impressive history this is a must-see.

Mexican Food in Tulum! - PARADISE CEVICHE and Tacos! | Riviera Maya, Mexico
On this Mexican Food trip, we started in Tulum, Mexico! Stay tuned for the full video series.

Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico:
My wife Ying and I, and our baby Micah, traveled to Mexico with my friend Carlos and his family. I met Carlos many years ago in University in Phoenix, Arizona, and he’s originally from Sonora, in Northern Mexico. Throughout University, Carlos and I would eat Mexican food non-stop, and we dreamed of traveling in Mexico to experience more. Finally we made this trip happen!
We actually flew into Cancun, and then immediately drove down to Playa Del Carmen where we based ourselves. On our first day we decided to take a day trip to Tulum, a small town on the Riviera Maya coast, and one of the official historical port cities of the Maya.
Taquería Honorio - First things first, we started off with some breakfast tacos at a well known Mexican street food spot in Tulum. I had a mix of four different types of tacos, all of which were extraordinary, but probably the best was the lechon, the roast suckling pig. This is a must eat tacos restaurant when you’re in Tulum.
Price for my plate - 64 MXN ($3.45)
Ruins of Tulum - 70 MXN ($3.77) - One of the main attractions in Tulum are the ancient Mayan ruins. It’s a beautiful place, and what makes it so incredible are not only the ruins, but the fact that they are right up along the gorgeous turquoise Caribbean coast. It was great to walk around, even though it was packed with visitors.
Playa Paraiso - Next we drove over to Playa Paraiso, just down the beach from the Ruins of Tulum, which crystal sparkling water.
Chamico’s - By lunchtime we were all very hungry, so we drove over to a place called Chamico’s a spot I had searched out on Google maps. Just from the photos it looked like a place I needed to go, from the relaxing atmosphere to the amazing fresh seafood. It was just as good as I had imagined. The restaurant was right along the beach, breezy, and the Mexican food was amazing. We had a few plates of ceviche, fried fish, and a shrimp cocktail.
Total price (for 4) - 1,180 MXN ($63.53)
Tulum, Mexico, is a true beach paradise, and it’s an amazing place to visit in Mexico. Thank you for watching!

Eat DC - 5 Things You Have to Eat in Washington, DC
The nation's capital is full of amazing restaurants and tons of international food for travelers to enjoy. Here we give you our five favorite foods to enjoy when we visit Washington, DC.
1. Ethiopian Food: DC has an enormous range of great international restaurants, but one that stands out as quite unique is the abundance of Ethiopian restaurants in The District. If you get a chance check one out and make sure you wash your hands before you eat, because you don't use a fork and knife, you use your hands and your bread to enjoy the stews, meats and veggies on offer.
2. Maryland Crab: whether it is amazing Maryland Crab Cakes or just plain old tasty crab in anything DC has a lot of crab options for you. So if you see some one selling some crab cakes on the street or on the menu you will get a fresh and local tasty treat.
3. Oysters: the oysters from Chesapeake Bay are worth their weight in tastiness. And what is great oysters are a popular happy hour treat at a number of restuarants around town. So enjoy some oysters and a local beer.
4. Half-Smoked Sausage: whether you are wandering around the national mall looking at museums or you head up to Ben's Chili Bowl there are plenty of options of eating this local sausage.
5. Other Local Treats: Chicken wings with Mumbo sauce is popular when you can find it. The Mumbo sauce is a combination of sweet and sour sauce and BBQ sauce in my opinion. You can always grab a cupcake in Georgetown (they are famous there), or you can head out to Mount Vernon and grab some peanut soup and some bread pudding.

Our Favorite Peruvian Food at Tanta Restaurant in Lima, Peru Travel Video Transcript:
Another day in Lima and that means another restaurant to visit. Today we are going to be eating at Tanta. This is a really famous restaurant by Gastón Acurio. It is actually a chain. It has become so popular. That they have different locations all over the city. We've been there once before. And we were so amazed by the food. The presentation. Especially the buffet table. Where you can grab like little bites to sample. A little bit of everything of Peruvian cuisine. That we were like we need to come back. We need to bring the camera. It just so happens to be one restaurant a few blocks down from our apartment. We're heading over there for lunch.
The food has arrived. Everything you can see on the table right now with the exception of the beer is all mine. One thing I love about this restaurant is that they have this huge bar with like a buffet style. Actually it is not buffet because you kind of like pick and choose what you want to have. They have like individual bites in tapas size. You can have your own customized plates basically.
If you want to sample a lot of Peruvian food without ordering a massive portion this is perfect.
I ordered two causa's. Which are made with potato. And this one has chicken and peach. And this one has octopus. I've had both of these before and I love them. I also got an empanada with ground beef and this has icing sugar on top. It is really popular for Peruvian empanadas to have icing sugar and then you squeeze a little bit of lemon. You have the sweetness and sourness.
In terms of price point that came to just over a 139 Soles which was $42 US dollars total. 21 per person and to be honest that was absolutely insane value. I mean all of the food was just incredible. I'm even going to just say it this is my favorite Peruvian restaurant right now in Lima, Peru.
