What to expect
San Isidro is Lima's financial district, and among its many buildings, we find the enormous Parque el Olivar. In Peru, we were a Spanish colony for almost 300 years. Upon their arrival, the conquistadors began importing their own crops from Europe, including olive trees. In this beautiful park, we'll walk and learn about Lima's flora and fauna, among more than 1,500 olive trees. It also has beautiful lagoons with turtles and koi. This forest is also a favorite among bird watchers, where you can find up to 22 types of birds!
20 minutes
Barranco is one of Lima's oldest districts (1874). Since ancient times, it has been described by historians and poets as "Paradise on Earth." It has always been, and still is, the greatest source of inspiration for Lima's artists. This is where most of painters, writers, poets, musicians, and actors lived and still live! It stands out for its greenery and bohemian character. Here we will walk through the streets adorned with beautiful murals that speak to us about Peruvian culture and nature. Barranco is also famous for its cafes and restaurants; we can recommend good places to experience the local vibe!
35 minutes
The Bridge of Sighs is one of Lima's "most romantic" spots. This is where we locals come for our first dates and where couples come on weekends to propose marriage. Built to connect the Ermita Church and the small town of Barranco, it helped ancient residents cross a water channel used to irrigate their crops. You can take the best photos here!
10 minutes
Mercado N 2 de Surquillo
If you really want to get to know the soul of a town, visit its markets. The Surquillo 2 market is one of the most popular in our city, an authentic place where the vendors are very friendly and proud of the wide variety of products they sell: vegetables, potatoes, fish, fruits—they sell everything! And that's how they support their families. Here we will try some seasonal fruits from different regions of Peru.
35 minutes
Miraflores is one of Lima's districts with the best tourist infrastructure. What stands out most about this area are its beautiful rocky beaches. Here we will visit Punta Roquitas beach. It's very famous for its photoshoots, fishermen fishing off the rocky pier, and surfing! Here we will learn about the interaction between the people of Lima and the Pacific Ocean.
