If you’re looking for a perfect spot by the Pacific coast to relax while in Lima, the city’s upscale district of Miraflores is the place to be. In addition to being home to rocky beaches, lavish restaurants, and high-end hotels, this part of Lima has many other picture-perfect spots in store.

Park of Love

One of Miraflores’ most Instagram-friendly attractions, this beautifully landscaped park with an ocean view draws obvious inspiration from Barcelona’s Park Güell. In addition to its mosaic walls, it’s also known for Victor Delfín’s famous kissing sculpture El Beso.

Huaca Pucllana

History lovers visiting Lima have to check out the remains of clay and adobe stepped pyramid in Miraflores. Huaca Pucllana was built between the years 200 AD and 700 AD, and it’s believed it once served as an important ceremonial center of the Lima Culture.

Faro La Marina

If you enjoy visiting lighthouses in each and every city that has one, Lima won’t leave you disappointed. Built in 1973, La Marina is one of the most beautiful and visited lighthouses in all of Peru thanks to its cliffside location above the Pacific Ocean.
