During this excursion, you’ll explore a neighborhood brimming with hip coffee shops, artistic boutiques, and exhibition spaces.
Barranco has risen to the ranks of an emblematic neighborhood, frequently topping charts as one of Lima’s most desirable areas. This wasn’t always the case for this now-vibrant artistic epicenter.
It began as a humble fishing port. After the War of the Pacific in the late 1800s, the wealthy citizens of Lima started to erect their weekend retreats in Barranco. As you meander through the locality, you’ll witness the street art and creative murals that provide a unique narrative of Peru’s past, a sight that’s truly unmissable!
