shopping Lima-Miraflores
  • Tip Rating:

  • Avenida Petit Thouars, where it meets the Av. Ricardo Palma (continuance of Av. Pardo towards Via Expresa), 2 blocks from the Ovalo-Parque Central/Parque Kennedy. Many souvenir shops gathered together. Walk the Petit Thouars for 3 to 5 blocks up (direction centre of Lima, you'll also pass by the post-office) and there are many. Maybe a little, but very little, more expensive than in the centre of Lima.
    From around 5 pm to 11 pm the Parque Kennedy has, in the middle a small local crafts market.
    Around Parque Kennedy many department stores (Ripley, Saga Falabella) and bars/ restaurants.
    Advantage here is that it's a relatively safe area.
    The shops in Larco Mar are much more expensive. Window-shopping and good for a drink/meal with a great view over the Pacific.
