Barranco

Costa central de Lima, Lima, Peru

What was once the number one beach resort in Lima is now a bohemian barrio par excellence'preferred by artists, writers and lovers for its serenity and idyllic atmosphere. The area has flourished again, over the last 15 years and its parks and republican-style mansions have regained past splendour. Cross the Puente de los Suspiros to the scenic pier overlooking the Pacific ocean. Catch a musical or cultural performance in one of the barrio's plazas, stroll along the boulevard and stop in at one of the many bars, such as La Noche'a lovely way to end the day.
