In the centre of Parque Kennedy, next to the church, is an information booth of the Ayuntamiento de Miraflores (city council). (See picture). They have some very nice, and many not-touristic, excursions. They organise, for instance, an excursion to the presidential palace in the centre of Lima, (half day, take your passport!), a day-excursion to Chincha (the town, an old hacienda, lunch and a visit to a pisco factory), beach trips and much more. There is also a double-decked bus doing a one-hour tour of Miraflores and a morning tour to Pachacamac ruins. (The other excursions are in normal, comfortable buses). Their program changes every month so check with them when you're there. They also have a website, and look for Cultura y Turismo, click on turismo, visitas turisticas. Very nice and cheap and very good. It helps when you speak some Spanish though. Nevertheless it is really worthwhile to go with them. Well organised, on-time and very friendly. Few foreign tourists take their excellent tours. Really recommended!

 Park of Love's (Parque del Amor) beautiful walls by laura4n8 The parks are what make Miraflores great, in my opinion. The Park of Love (Parque del Amor) features some great, colorful tile walls and a great view. However, the park smells a little unpleasant. The Lighthouse Park (Parque el Faro) also has a great view from the cliff and offers a great seat for locals playing soccer. Leave a Comment Directions: Southwest Of The Centrum Of Lima

 The local mercado by laura4n8 I can't remember the name. I've also heard it called the Miraflores Roundabout. It's on the on Av. Jose Pardo. It has a lovely park, some pretty building and promising markets. I watched some locals do some type of yoga in the shaded area in the park. There were dozens are artists selling their painting and the Cathedral was great. Not far from there was a local market (I felt a little conspicious with my light hair and skin) where I just plain absorbed the sights and smells (some not so great as others). An Inca market nearby was Artesanias Urin Huanca S.A. Leave a Comment Address: Off the Av. Jose PardoDirections: Southwest Of The Centrum Of Lima The Inca market is located at Av.

 Artists show their paintings by the church by AKtravelers On a weekend, Park Kennedy in Miraflores is a happening place to be. Artists are out selling their paintings, lovers are pecking at each other in the shade, children are playing on the swings and people are just enjoying their leisure time. On one weekend evening, a crowd was watching a dozen ballroom dancers waltz while, not far away, a colorful band of local musicians played Peruvian tunes.

 View from Parque del Amor by nenzo If you are travelling with your girlfriend I can highly recommend this very romantic park. Panoramic view over the pacific ocean approximately 50 metres below, the sound from the waves and a red sunset creates the frames for a perfect evening. This park was dedicated to lovers to make an exception of the typical monuments dedicated to warriors Leave a Comment Address: Follow the coast from larcomarDirections: Miraflores

 rocky beach, cliff at Larco Mar by Bonsterinc Go to hang out at Larco Mar, and eat at the restaurant that has a patio overlooking the ocean. Great scenary and great buffet lunch. One of my favorite memory in Peru. Also, movie is cheap there and often is in English with Spanish subtitles. Walk down to the beach and listen to the water washing off the pebbles and rocks, very soothing, you definitely know you are on vacation. Walk along the shore down south to the park where there is the statue of a couple embracing, very green. Also check out the paragliding activitiy, which is $35 for 15 min. (if I remembered correctly). An experience pilot will take you in the sky gliding over the cliff, a great experience! Leave a Comment Directions: Southwest Of The Centrum Of Lima

Paragliding off the cliffs of Lima was one of the best highlights of my Peru trip. It was $40 to go tandem with an instructor. You can take your camera up and get some awesome pictures. Or, if your going with friends, ask to go up all at the same time so you can take pictures of each other in the air! Directions: Parque Del Amor in Miraflores -- Look for a group of rugged extreme-sports looking guys on a lawn. One of these dudes will be able to take you up, and you can pay soles or dollars. You may have to wait around a bit if the winds aren't quite right.

by acemj We stayed in the district of Miraflores which is an inexpensive cab ride away from the city center. It's a safer neighborhood and has the best infrastructure of hotels and other accommodations. The Parque Miraflores is a nice green space along the main street, Avenida Jose Larco and in front of the neighborhoods cathedral. Larco is lined with restaurants, shops and bars. My buddy Ryan and I even got haircuts at a place along this street. At the end of Larco, you'll find an open-air mall that overlooks the ocean and the cliffs.

This park is dedicated to love and lovers. It's a very picturesque place with moseic work all around the sitting areas and lovely views of the sea... very romantic place to walk around with someone I suppose. If you don't however it's still a very nice place to have a nice walk! Leave a Comment Directions: Southwest Of The Centrum Of Lima

by Urzu The Miraflores district is one of the most popular and touristy ones in the city of Lima. It's modern, full of shops and restaurants. One of the most famous parks in Lima is situated in this district. The Kennedy park is usually full of people, and many artists try to sell their art pieces, or there are musicians playing creole music.
