Lima Things to Do Tips by laura4n8

All you have to do is just walk around this lovely distrinct and you'll fall in love with its color, flavor and romanticism. Locals in Lima are a very romantic people and the EL Puente de los Suspiros (the Bridge of Sighs) is the perfect example of the expression of their infatuation with love.

Barranco used to be Lima's largest beach resort and is a bohemian suburb home to some of Peru's most prestigious artists and writers (so they say).

I personally love the houses, the coasts, the colors and the activity. The crowd seems young and vivacious. A definite must see at night!

The parks are what make Miraflores great, in my opinion. The Park of Love (Parque del Amor) features some great, colorful tile walls and a great view. However, the park smells a little unpleasant.

The Lighthouse Park (Parque el Faro) also has a great view from the cliff and offers a great seat for locals playing soccer.

I can't remember the name. I've also heard it called the Miraflores Roundabout. It's on the on Av. Jose Pardo. It has a lovely park, some pretty building and promising markets. I watched some locals do some type of yoga in the shaded area in the park. There were dozens are artists selling their painting and the Cathedral was great.

Not far from there was a local market (I felt a little conspicious with my light hair and skin) where I just plain absorbed the sights and smells (some not so great as others).

An Inca market nearby was Artesanias Urin Huanca S.A.

The main square in downtown Lima is glorious at night. The buildings are flooded with lights and people congregate everywhere. The people add a seems of excitement that is thrilling.

I had a great time just sitting and watching the local people relax on the rocky beaches. The sun is soothing and the sightseeing is sure to please. But don't expect any kind of sandy beach -- it's just rocks here.
