00:00So, I've had people asking me about, is Peru safe, is Lima safe, in particular, right,

00:13because I'm in Lima, and that's what I'm going to talk about in this video.

00:17So from my experience, let's talk about driving.

00:22I don't know if most people from the United States could handle driving here.

00:30It's, you'd have to, it's a special style, it's not a style that many people in the United

00:38States or in the Western world would be used to.

00:41Even Mexico, I don't know if you can really compare it to Mexico, right.

00:47So another thing about safety, in terms of catching taxis and what not, it's really unique

00:57because there is low-end taxis, and then there's high-end taxis.

01:04For example, today I rode, I caught a ride in a Lexus, a brand new Lexus, which you would

01:12have, you know, in the United States, it would have been pretty expensive, here, it was not

01:17that expensive.

01:22For example, I went for, from San Ysidro, which is the neighborhood where my hotel is,

01:29the financial district, to downtown Lima, which is considered more dangerous, which

01:38I'll talk about in the next part of this video.

01:44And that ride took about 20 minutes, because of traffic and what not, and it only was $12.

01:54So that was 20 minutes in a Lexus, which normally with a meter in, say, New York City or Los

01:59Angeles would have been $30.

02:02So like a bus like this, for example, if you can get in a nice bus, safety.

02:08So Peru has this, for lack of a better word, cash system, where if you can afford to travel

02:15in some of the more first world type accommodation and what not, you're going to be in a safer,

02:23more secure area.

02:24If you're on a low budget, and you're staying in areas like central Lima, it might not be

02:31as safe or great of an idea.

02:35Now the third thing about the dangers of central Lima and what not, when I was down there in

02:44central Lima, I had, I watched two guys yelling at each other.

02:51But before I even went down there, I had someone warn me, saying, you know, watch your stuff

02:56down there in central Lima.

02:58So locals, they're aware of it, they don't like it, they don't like the dangers that

03:05exist with it, but it does exist.

03:07So I just wanted to put that out there.

03:09I stopped there because I was going to cross the street, but I don't know if that's a crosswalk.

03:13So I'll just keep pushing forward.

03:18So there are certain areas that I've been told don't go there, and that comes down to

03:23the whole, is it a tourist place?

03:26Stick to your tourist itinerary.

03:29Once you start going off the tourist itinerary and you start doing things that you would

03:34normally do in comfort, you know, go off a beaten path in the United States or wherever

03:40you're from, not such a great idea here.

03:45And that comes straight from the locals, they'll tell you that.

03:48I've probably received at least three warnings from different locals about being careful

03:56and what not.

03:59Also, if you can befriend a taxi cab driver or someone that you can trust, that's always

04:08a great idea.

04:10Because then they can, you know, look out for you.

04:17So another thing about finance, like how to get your money right, there are better ATMs

04:26in my opinion here than Mexico.

04:29Mexico, some of the ATMs, they have these shady situations where the ones on the street,

04:34you know, they play these games with you and they double charge you and stuff like that.

04:39I haven't really seen too much of that with your finance here in Lima like I did in Mexico

04:47in particular, and the tourist areas there.

04:53The food, for the most part, is safe.

04:57The thing you might want to keep in mind about that is the water, out of the tap, you cannot

05:04drink, but you can drink.

05:09At some of these hotels, they'll have wells, and that's safe water to drink.

05:18So as you can see, I'm walking here, San Isidro next to Scotiabank, big building, and

05:29these transport buses like that, I haven't ridden on one of those, I've ridden on more

05:34of the municipality of Lima buses, I haven't ridden on one of those.

05:41I was also told that if you're trying to go to Cusco on a bus, there's different types

05:46of bus that'll go there.

05:48So for about $200 soles, you can go to Cusco, which is around about $70, it's a full day

05:59trip, but it's a safe bus, you're going to be on a very safe automobile, or a safe bus.

06:10That's just one way though.

06:12So this is the main drag.

06:20They do have a Chinatown here.

06:26If I was to go this way more, that would be Miraflores.

06:31So anyways guys, if you guys have any questions about Lima, I'm more than willing to answer

06:44them.

06:45I've been here for a few days now, which isn't a lot of time, but it's enough to explore

06:51and experience.

06:52Every day has been this foggy, cloudy weather.

06:57One day was a little bit of sunshine, the sun made an appearance.

07:02Like I said, this is, in the other videos I said, because it's August here, this is

07:08the equivalent of January in the Northern Hemisphere.

07:19Lima is a desert.

07:21So, low altitude, this is not the Andes.

07:26Even Cusco, if you look at the weather temperature here in winter, Cusco is actually considered

07:32warmer than Lima.

07:36Today in Cusco it's 68, today in Lima it's 63.

07:41I just kept walking that way, I keep seeing more of the financial district, which is all

07:48around here.

07:49I mean, this is really what the San Ysidro area looks like.

07:54Here's a great example of safety, also seeing the police, you can see the police in the

08:00horizon.

08:02Lots of police out here, and whenever you see the police, their job is basically, boots

08:07on the ground, keep the area safe.

08:11And being that this is a financial district, it has a lot of police, so San Ysidro is a

08:15safe place to stay.

08:17Miraflores, a safe place to stay.

08:21This is the San Ysidro area.

08:25So, San Ysidro is a safe place to stay.

08:28Miraflores, a safe place to stay.

08:32Near the Barranco seems modestly safe, but if you can stay in Miraflores or San Ysidro,

08:40you should be pretty good to go here in Lima.

08:46I would say, I would say more than just pretty good to go, you would be safe, it is safe.

08:55I just wanted to show you guys what it's like, just walking around so you get an idea

09:01of what you would be feeling.

09:03You can see, we haven't seen any sketchy, shady characters around here, so nothing to

09:12be concerned about with that.

09:21Let's see here.

09:25Those are some apartments.

09:27Man, they've got a lot of high-rises out here in Lima.

09:30I did hear they have earthquakes too, so that was a little bit of a surprise.

09:38They have warnings that say, if you feel an earthquake, take the necessary steps.

09:45So this is Parque Paratodos, which means Park of Everything.

09:55And there is a residential building.

10:05Here's some more, some more, some more.

10:14Look at this, look at that road.

10:19The trees and everything.

10:30Yeah, just stay in the safe zones.

10:33The city tourist areas and the high-end, high-rent districts.

10:39Even if you're on a low budget, still try to find a hostel or hang out in those areas.

10:48I mean, like I said, I've gotten three warnings from locals who said the same thing about

10:55be careful, be careful.

10:57Yesterday I was being approached by these people who come up to you to try to sell you

11:03jewelry, authentic jewelry, and I was like, no thank you, but they wouldn't give up.

11:09And then I finally agreed to buy something.

11:13And that was, it ended up being expensive.

11:16Coffee? Café?

11:18Sí.

11:19Oh, sí? Okay.

11:20Americano, espresso.

11:22Cappuccino.

11:23Cappuccino, espresso.

11:24No cappuccino?

11:25Oh, okay.

11:26Americano?

11:27Americano and espresso.

11:28Yeah, I'll take an Americano and coffee.

11:32Sí, con leche es un poquito.

11:35Sí, bien.

11:37And ceviche?

11:43So, yeah, I can keep this vlog going or stop it here, but I'm going to have a cup of coffee

11:50to show you guys around and see you guys later.

12:01Bye.
