Urban Cycling Trips

If you don’t know me yet, my name is Ana. I live in Lima, Peru and one of my favorite hobbies is to ride bicycles. I used to race in MTB as well as BMX competitions. Thus, I decided to monetize this hobby offering my services on a bike: 

• Life coaching for women who need to feel empowered.

• Short trips for people who want to have fun.
• English/Spanish conversation for people who is learning any of these languages.

Señor Limón - Sir Lemon

As seafood combines perfect with these sunny days the last sunday I went to eat to the Señor Limón, a very known restaurant that has some locations in Lima, one near my home, exactly in San Miguel. Then I invited my mother to remember the exquisite flavor of the Señor Limón’s dishes. We had tried many dishes there and we don’t complain about any.  Even though we have many seafood restaurants in Lima it seems they are still few because at some seafood restaurants I like I always find people waiting to enter and of course I have to join the line. At least at the Señor Limón I don’t have to wait too much, just 5 or 10 minutes to find a seat. Thus, I still remember when I went to eat at a very good seafood restaurant and I found it all full and the place was really big, but I will talk about it later.  I love Señor Limon because I think they serve a fear quantity for the price, and what about the quality?- it’s  wonderful because they only work with fine fish and don't lie to you. In my opinion, the reason of his public is the right relation between price-quantity-quality.  It’s always a pleasure to eat at the Señor Limón.  However, I must clear up I’ve never gone to the other locations, only to San Miguel. I hope you can eat there and if you know more about the others please tell us.

This time I ordered at Señor Limón:

Matrimonio de Causa con Ceviche (Marriage of Cause filled with crayfish and Ceviche)

Pez Espada a la Parrilla con champignones (Grilled Swordfish with mushrooms)

Here the photos I took wih my camera:



People waiting to enter



The place is all full

My order. I always ask for Matrimonio

Address: Av. La Mar 2311, San Miguel

Mis Costillitas - Ribs and Grilled "snacks"

Well, at first I have clear up that I didn't find an exact translation por "piqueo" because I understand snack like something not too heavy but these "grilled snaks" are really greassy and heavy, not kidding. I had an awful stomachache despite to a lunch in honor of Alicia, a good friend and co-worker. Please don't missunderstand me, the food is delicious and the quality is all right, but it's not light at all. The salad is very simple and too small while the french fries potatos and meet are a considerably amount. I do not like the salad not event the french fries potatos they serve but the ribs and the grilles "snacks" rock my world =) . I've been in the location of San Miguel and another in Miraflores.The taste is not wide different between both locations but I rather Mis Costillitas from Miraflores even though it's smaller. Go! eat! enjoy! punish your stomach once in a while.

Pardos Chicken - feel the peruvian taste

Last monday I went to the movies with my family and as a family tradition we went to dinner before. It was my turn to choose the restaurant and I picked Pardos Chicken since it's been a long time we ate there. I don't if it was because we missed the place but that monday I felt I was eating the best grilled chicken ever in my life. My mother also said it was better than the last time. So, it was a grateful surprise for us and it reminded me I should recommend this restaurant. Thus, they are some of the few good restaurants I know that offer a "light" option for whose don't like to eat too much fat. For example, they allow you to change salad instead of the french fries potatos as a result you eat grilled chicken with salad

For those who don't know Pardos Chicken is a peruvian chain of restaurants that became international some time ago, because of the quality of their food they had a great success in Chile. By the was, a lot of peruvian restaurants are conquering the world and I have them here cheaper and closer then I feel so lucky of been peruvian. Beside, I love to eat, yep I confess but shhh nobody must know.

I hope you can feel the flavor while looking at the pictures:

Punta Arenas - Best Tiradito

The last sunday I went to eat at one of my favorite restaurants Punta Arenas. They prepare my favorite dish "Tiradito de Pescado" very well. As a matter of fact, they do the BEST Tiradito Bicolor I've ever tried. It's the #1 in my ranking of tiraditos!!!. The day I went I also saw a famous peruvian comedian eating there with his family. Lately, I run into many famous people in the places I go. Does it mean I'm fashion? haha...Ok. I didn't like they didn't serve me the amount of  Tiradito I was used to eat there... Or the didn't have fish or I was very hungry? Whatever I just want to show you the photos. I wasen't used to take photos of my outings, but since I have this blog I do it and you know what? It feels good. Thanks!

Here, the photos I took:

Parque de la Imaginación - Imagination Park

The well named "Parque de la Imaginación" is an interactive museum that mixes technology, imagination and science in a funny way so you learn as the same time you are kind of playing a game. It's cool and relatively new in Peru (2008). It's organized in educational modules divided on: science, space, life, energy, biodiversity, ilusion and mechanics. In which one there are "games" and a guide that allows you to experiment cause-effect while you are interacting. The park is really big and also is a good idea made by peruvian capitals. I went this year and it was not crowded. I hope more people get to know this beautiful place. The  tion park is located in San Miguel, close to Plaza San Miguel where you can eat, shop, drink or take coffee. Then it's perfect for a day in San Miguel. Ahh...I forgot...the ticket costs 8 soles and it's for all the games, during all the time you want to stay. Inside there's a snacks shop I don't recommend, so eat before going.

Here some photos of my visit:
