What You Will Do
On this tour you will see a district full of trendy cafes, bohemian boutiques and galleries.
Barranco has become an iconic district and one that usually lands at the top of lists for the best neighborhoods in Lima. But it wasn't always the creative hub it is today.
Originally a small port populated by local fishermen, upper-class Lima residents began building their weekend homes in Barranco shortly after the War of the Pacific in the late 19th century. You will walk through the district observing the graffiti and artistic murals that will make you know the history of Peru in an original way and that you cannot miss!
