All you have to do is just walk around this lovely distrinct and you'll fall in love with its color, flavor and romanticism. Locals in Lima are a very romantic people and the EL Puente de los Suspiros (the Bridge of Sighs) is the perfect example of the expression of their infatuation with love.
Barranco used to be Lima's largest beach resort and is a bohemian suburb home to some of Peru's most prestigious artists and writers (so they say).
I personally love the houses, the coasts, the colors and the activity. The crowd seems young and vivacious. A definite must see at night! Leave a Comment Address: South of downtown Lima on the Pacific coast.Directions: South Of Miraflores

The bridge(puente de los suspiros) area is one of the best spots in Barranco. I really love how you have to walk on a narrow, little cobble-stone road to get to the top of the cliff, for a great oceanview. It's a great spot, but swamped with couples making out at night. The restaurant has great anticuchos! Leave a Comment

Hello, how's it going? I just wanted to talk about a festivity taking place in peru, which can seem weird for new comers, The carnavals , this takes place in february, at this time of year people pelt each other with water ballons, flour and shoe polish, they throw them from everywhere, don't complaint because policemen will laugh at your complaint, just enjoy it.

 Traditional food by El_Sueco
The cost is reasonable (low) and you can spend one day on the main dishes and one day on the desserts, as I did.
On some hours there are artists singing and dancing, on others recorded music is played.
A recommendable place. See also my restaurant tip on Barranco. Leave a Comment Address: Between Biblioteca and Puente de SuspirosDirections: South of Miraflores

In Barranco, very close to the "puente de los suspiros", and in the park named after her as well, you can find the monument to Chabuca Granda, one of the most important singers & composers in Peru. She was greatly known for her creole style music. Some of her most famous songs are "La For de la Canela", "Fina Estampa" and "El Puente de los Suspiros". Her music is a must listen to if you get the opportunity. Leave a Comment Directions: South Of Miraflores

This is the main square in the Barranco district, from where you can also see the church of San Francisco. This is a lovely square to walk around and see the typical buildings. Right next to it you can also find a food market some days of the week, and of course there are little stands where you can buy jewelry almost any day of the week. By night this is a very lively place to be, as Barranco hosts one of the most active nightlife in Lima. Leave a Comment Directions: South Of Miraflores

Because Barranco first was a fisher's quarter, this church was a place where the fishermen went to ask god for help. Legend says that once a group of fishermen went out to sea, but because it was winter and the weather conditions were bad they got lost. After a few hours they saw a shining object in the distance, and that's how they got back to land safely. The shining object was the cross of the church, and it became a symbol to them. Nowadays the church is badly damaged, which is a shame, but it's still a very beautiful sight. Leave a Comment Directions: South Of Miraflores

This bridge was built in the late 19th century, mainly to comunicate the two sides of the "barranco" which means cliff. The translation of the name is "bridge of the sighs", and it takes this name because it's a popular place for lovers to meet and sit.. and kiss! This bridge is also famous because the Peruvian singer Chabuca Granda dedicated one of her songs to it. Leave a Comment Directions: South Of Miraflores
