A guide with a point of view, not an aggregator

What you'll find

How we curate

A pipeline scrapes the 7 sources weekly. Auto-dedup across titles + venues, recurring-show detection, ranking by 8 signals (source, image quality, cross-source confirmation, editorial description, geocoding…). Then the human decision kicks in — what counts as a worth-it show, what event deserves the hero, which restaurant makes the top.

Not just algorithmic; algorithmic + a point of view.

Editorial voice

When we say Maido is “the kitchen where nikkei stopped being fusion and became a category of its own” — that's a sentence we wrote, not Maido's PR. When we say Hablando Huevadas is “Peru's filthiest podcast turned into live stand-up” — no clichés like “must-see” or “hidden gem”.

What Limeo is NOT

To be clear:

• Not an exhaustive guide. We cover what's worth it, not everything. If something's missing, it's because we haven't gotten to it yet.
• No user reviews / comments. Yet. Editorial goes first; UGC comes later.
• Not a mobile app yet. Web first. Mobile when the web is mature.
• No ads, no paid placements. We don't sell rankings. If Maido is at the top it's because it's the world's #1, not because someone paid.

Who's behind it

Curated by Mangel.

It's a one-person project, not a team. When you read “we” on the site, that's me. No investors, no partners, no obligation to include anyone. That's the strength — and sometimes the limitation.

Limeo started as a response to Lima not having a decent, opinionated guide. Aggregators are spammy. Magazines are sponsored. Google Maps doesn't understand editorial judgment. If you also want a place to find out what's worth doing in Lima without swallowing marketing, Limeo is for you.
