Miraflores -together with Barranco
and, to a lesser extent, San
Isidro- is the pulsing heart of town. Most of Lima's
best restaurants and hotels are found here, as well
as many bars, clubs, and shops.
The district is next to the ocean,
and indeed benefits from some of the best views in town.
Its many beaches -collectively known as the Costa Verde-
are popular among surfers year round, and the destination
of thousands of limeños during the summer.
