Private Half Day Bohemian and Artistic Barranco

A journey full of art, culture, and flavor awaits us in Lima’s bohemian neighborhood par excellence: Barranco. We will explore its streets that still keep their colonial and republican legacy as the Saenz Peña Boulevard, which stands out for its old houses influenced by the Gothic style. The deeper we go into Barranco, the more we will be surprised by its picturesque houses, many of them converted into workshops or museums, as is the case of Jade Rivera and Victor Delfin. We will enter both to learn a little more about the artists’ work and see unique pieces. Barranco is characterized by the energy breathed into its beautiful boardwalk, with an extraordinary view of the Pacific Ocean. Following it, we will arrive at the Bridge of Sighs or ‘Puente de los Suspiros’, one of the most important attractions of the district, inspiring unique legends and motivating songs and poems. The renowned interpreter Chabuca Grande dedicated one of her most popular songs to it, and we will see a sculpture in her honor. As we walk towards the district’s main square, we will see dozens of colorful murals with which we can take pictures. The flavor touch awaits at El Cacaotal, a favorite place for chocolate and coffee lovers, where we can taste a drink and learn more about the high quality of Peruvian coffee and cocoa. For the shopping fanatics, we will take a look at some Peruvian art and handicraft stores to take a souvenir home before ending our adventure in Barranco.
