3. Barranco
Barranco can be found to the south of Miraflores and Central Lima, and is a rather quaint hillside district. Boasting impressive ocean views and colonial architecture lining the narrow streets, this is a truly charming area within easy commuting distance of downtown Lima.
Predominantly exuding a relaxed vibe compared to that of the Peruvian capital’s bustling downtown, Barranco boasts a rather Bohemian feel, which is why it’s so popular with poets and artists. If you’re after a combination of romance and top tourist attractions in Peru, we suggest wandering this area of Lima at sunset or the afternoon, and perhaps enjoying a meal while overlooking the ocean.
