Miraflores, Barranco & Co.

Criollo Restaurant Huaca Pucllana, in Miraflores, enjoys one of the most unique settings in town: within the ruins of an archaeological compound built the early inhabitants of Lima. Breathtaking views, excellent wine and pisco list, great cuisine.

Built in 1927 and completely refurbished by 1998, hacienda-style Country Club Lima is probably the most unique and lovely deluxe hotel in town.

Few other Peruvian writers protrayed Lima's society (and particularly Miraflores' middle-class) as master storyteller Julio Ramón Ribeyro. A disenchanted, melancholic voice sparkled with pungent humour.

Fresh and tasty, Ceviche is Peru's flag dish. Check Lima's best Cevicherias (Peruvian seafood restaurants) an indulge yourself with the fabulous fruits of the Pacific Ocean.

Upbeat Afro Peruvian music, rich criollo fare, and lots of fun. Add generous quantities of beer and you'll have the essence of a Peña, cheerful music clubs with a long lasting tradition in Peru's capital.

Second Home Peru guesthouse occupies a magnificent Tudor mansion in Barranco, and features a beautiful view of the coastline and the Pacific Ocean. Once home to renowned Peruvian sculptor Víctor Delfín, huge sculptures rise amidst the garden's many trees and plants. Interested? Check Availability and Book this Hotel!

Be safe: learn why taking out travel insurance for your Peru trip is a good idea.
