Hello: I was born in Magdalena del Mar,few years ago when it used to be an aristocratic bathing resort or “balneario” I live in USA(New York and Miami) for over 50 years now but I always have fond memories of Magadalena,my parents house still there where I was born and I am going to sell it now to build a condominium,Magdalena used to be a charming quiet little town where every body knew each other,my mother used to say Magdalena has the best weather in Lima,it was very european ethnically and very old and established families live in the district as I recall,everything was near by since we lived in Jiron Bolognesi now Llosa,it never developed like Miraflores but always mantained it residential and peaceful atsmosphere,La Parroquia,el parque donde nuestras mamas hacian Kermeses beneficas,la plaza del mercado donde vendian deliciosos tamales los Domingos y el mejor pan con chicharon que vendia un chinito en una esquina,los cines Gardel,Broadway y Brasil por supuesto todo eso ya cambio pero los lindos recuerdos quedan Saludos!!!

This is the most informative blog we’ve come across. We’re looking at visiting Peru for one month in March. We love to backpack and are looking at the most inexpensive way of doing so. Can you make any recommendation. We noticed you stayed at an apartment for a really good rate. Was it close to hiking (2 hours on a bus is fine) thanks alot. You can post here or email me back.

Cheers

Hi all…i lived in Magdelena for about a year now and actually to take a taxi from there to central Lima dont pay more than 7 or 8 soles or they know that they are taking advantage of a tourist…buses are ok but once you get to central Lima that is where buses are more unsafe…more rateros..good chance of being robbed…in Magdelena if you want to get around locally take a mototaxi…1-3 soles. Also the Mercado Magdelena is nice but gets a little crowded so I like mecado La Marina..still close but smaller and the peopl are very nice…good food in the little cafes and there is a great little tienda that sells chicharrones next to the meat butchers..and the little fruit vendor closest to the front entrance is aesome…some of the best fresh fruit i have ever had…and they always give me new samples to taste each day i shop….if you’re wanting to buy fresh pork..go to Candy the supermercado..the specialize in fresh cut pork everyday…they butcher their own and it is sooo cheap..even less than the open markets…enjoy Magdelena…i think it is a cute and quiet place in Lima

Hi me again I made many typos the restaurant is called El Bolivariano and the museum is called museo antropologico. If you go again to La punta callao try to go the cemetery Presbitero Maestro but do it morning time because that part of the city is not safe at dark. A tip to Letty if she want to live in an unexpensive and safe part of that side of Lima ask for Valle Riestra neighborhood pueblo Libre it’s located close to Magdalena but is quiet. Magdalena is not a dangerous district but there are some spots not safe. Close to the huaca or to the market during the evening.

Hola Jessie: Magdalenas es mas grande de lo que tu conoces probablemente you should ask for the northern side of Magdalena del Mar around the park called La pera del amor it’s located close to Salaverry avenue and El ejercito avenue. That part is still Magdalena the border side to San isidro. Is quiet and safe but the traditional area where you stayed has republican architecture and looks better. If you go again to magdalena ask for yuyachkani’s house. It’ s the house of one of the best theater group in Latin America tthey would like to show their activities and maybe you’d be lucky the see them performing. One more thing try to go to Pueblo libre Queirolo Bar is a very tradtional bodega where you will try their pisco wines and piqueos. They also run a comida criolla restaurant located around the corner of Queirolo’s bar. If you have time closeby you’ll find the anthropolical museum and the house where Simon Bolivar and Jose de San martin stayed wh
