1

Parque Municipal de Barranco

Barranco's leafy central park — home to a mythological fountain, a pink-towered library, and the social heart of the neighborhood since 1899.

2

Bajada de Baños (Street Art Corridor)

A steep lane that once carried fishermen to the beach — now Lima's most concentrated outdoor gallery of street art and murals.

3

Bridge of Sighs (Puente de los Suspiros)

A 44-meter wooden bridge built in 1876, draped in legend — hold your breath, make a wish, and cross without exhaling.

4

La Ermita (The Hermitage)

A semi-ruined 18th-century church perched above the sea — closed since 1974, home to vultures, and hauntingly beautiful.

5

Museo Pedro de Osma

A 1906 French-style mansion housing Peru's most important collection of viceregal art — Cusco School paintings, Art Nouveau glass, and gardens that rival the art inside.

6

MATE — Museo Mario Testino

A restored 19th-century mansion turned photography museum — founded by Mario Testino, Lima's gift to the world of fashion photography.

7

Malecón & Pacific Ocean Viewpoint

A clifftop promenade with sweeping views of the Pacific — surfers, paragliders, two-hundred-foot cliffs, and Lima's legendary sunsets.
