"Lima is known for their amazing food. I mean look at this dessert. This is crazy. Oh I
don't know what this is! She done tore that up!" (laughter)
GUYS! After a week-long adventure of exploring history, culture, and epic landscapes – we
gave a really sad goodbye to the insanely beautiful Andes region. We learned so much
about Peru’s history that week, but it was now time to leave Peru’s past in the past
and trade it in for the more modern side of things. So off we flew, leaving the mountainous
Cusco City behind and entering the coastal city of Lima.
And remember our amazing Airbnb from Episode 4? Well, we got lucky again y’all. This
time we stayed in an ultra chic urban condo in the Miraflores district.
Time for MTV Cribs.
So let me just tell you – if you love food and Lima isn’t on your list, you need to
add it ASAP. We were only there for a day and a half but we ate some of the best food
we have ever had. Let me show you.
First up: Tanta. "So after spending about a week in Cusco, now we are in Lima and we
don't have to worry about altitude sickness, so we can finally drink."
This was where I learned that there is more to Peruvian drinks than just the traditional
pisco sour. See in Lima, you can try all kinds of unique cocktails with pisco in it. "That
pisco sour will do it to you!"
Second up: The Bioferia de Miraflores. You guys know how strongly I feel about supporting
the locals when I travel so this made my day. Here, you can support local farms and buy
organic products at this super cute outdoor farmers market.
Lastly: Everyone’s favorite restaurant. La Mar Cebicheria.
"Everyone says that when you come to Peru you have to go and get ceviche, so we are
at La Mar Cebicheria." "La Mar Cebicheria!"
Now because Lima is on the coast, you’re going to get some of the best seafood you’ve
ever tasted. FUN FACT: this was my last fish dish ever. I’m actually a full-fledged vegetarian
now.
Ohhh and then there was dessert y'all. "Peru is known for their amazing food, I mean look
at this! What is this? I've never seen anything like this before."
Dessert was obviously incredible. I ordered picarones, a Peruvian dessert that actually
originated in Lima. "Picarones with Amazonian honey."
Phew!! That was a lot of food. And you guys know I’m a bit of a workout nut, so I insisted
that we forgo the taxi ride and instead walk all the way back to our condo. So glad we
did that…check out all this awesome scenery we saw along the way.
Sigh. All good things much come to an end. We had come to our last night in Peru. And
we spent searching for a good night club, and look we found one!
