Malecón de Miraflores is located in the Miraflores district of Lima, the capital of Peru. It is a coastal promenade built on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, stretching nearly 10 km. From north to south, it connects three coastal green spaces: Marina, Cisneros, and Reserva. On one side are garden neighborhoods, and on the other is the vast Pacific Ocean. It is a go-to spot for Lima residents for daily walks, jogging, and cycling. The pedestrian and bicycle paths are separated, and the route is lined with flower beds, sculptures, and viewing platforms, offering both leisurely strolls and the opportunity to cycle along the entire coastline. Malecón de Miraflores sits atop cliffs dozens of meters high, with waves constantly crashing against the rocks below. It is especially popular in the evening; finding a bench facing the sea to watch the sun slowly sink into the Pacific Ocean is a memorable experience for many visiting Lima.

Love Park is situated on the coastal cliffs of the Miraflores district in Lima, with steep sandy cliffs below and the vast Pacific Ocean beyond. The park opened on Valentine's Day in 1993 and is a popular spot for local couples. In the center of the park stands "The Kiss" by sculptor Victor Delfin, depicting a couple embracing and kissing. Below the sculpture is a curved bench made of colorful mosaic tiles. Its winding, undulating curves are often compared to the Gaudí bench in Park Güell in Barcelona. The bench and the wall facing the sea are covered in colorful mosaics, engraved with Spanish love poems, many of which were written by Peruvian poets. The atmosphere is particularly special in the evening. Sitting on the bench watching the sunset sink into the Pacific Ocean, you can often see paragliders taking off from the nearby cliff tops and gliding over the sea.

Gold Museum of Peru and Arms of the World

4.0/5
43 reviews

Gold Museum of Peru and Arms of the World is located in the Monterrico area of the Surco district in southern Lima, Peru, and was founded by collector Miguel Mujica Gallo based on his lifelong private collection. Visitors must pass through a heavy door resembling a bank vault to enter the museum. The two-story space displays the collector's holdings: half are pre-Columbian gold artifacts, and half are weapons from around the world. The Gold Hall is the reason most people visit: gold masks from the Sicán culture, gold nose ornaments from the Moche culture, and gold plaques and ritual vessels from the Inca culture are displayed in sequence. The materials also include silver and platinum, with other pre-Columbian relics such as textiles and pottery interspersed among them. The timeline extends from pre-Inca cultures like the Moche and Chimú to the Inca Empire, roughly tracing the evolution of Andean metalwork. The weapons section is equally impressive: the museum houses over 10,000 weapons, with the earliest dating back to the 13th century. Swords, armor, military uniforms, and saddles are all on display, and you can even see the swords of Russian Tsar Alexander I and Spanish King Ferdinand VII. Military enthusiasts often spend just as much time here as they do in the Gold Hall.

Pucllana Site Museum

3.8/5
32 reviews

Pucllana Site Museum is a pre-Inca archaeological site tucked away in the bustling Miraflores district of Lima. Its name originates from Quechua, meaning 'sacred place of games.' It was built by the ancestors of the Lima culture starting around 200 AD and flourished around the 5th century, long before the Inca Empire. The entire pyramid is constructed of adobe, with seven staggered platforms reaching over 20 m in height. One side is a ceremonial plaza where marine offerings, such as fish, were once placed in deep pits. The other side is an administrative area with traces of courtyards and small rooms, where functional zones remain clearly distinguishable today. Around 700 AD, the Wari culture converted the upper levels of the pyramid into a noble burial ground. The well-preserved 'Lord of the Huacas' tomb, which unearthed the remains of an adult wearing a mask along with buried children, is one of the site's most notable archaeological discoveries.

Lima Main Squarealso known as the central square, is the birthplace of the old town of Lima, the capital of Peru. In 1535, the Spaniard Pizarro founded the city here, and the square subsequently became the center of the entire city's planning and expansion. It is surrounded by the Government Palace of Peru, the Cathedral, the Archbishop's Palace, the Municipal Palace, and the Palace of the Union. The colonial-style facades are often adorned with carved wooden balconies, creating a highly recognizable cityscape for Lima, and the Cathedral houses the coffin of the city's founder, Pizarro. The bronze fountain in the center of the square was completed in the mid-17th century and is one of the oldest monuments preserved in Lima, as well as a popular spot for tourists to take photos.

Centro Historico

Centro Historico is the historic core of Lima, the capital of Peru, spanning the Lima and Rímac districts on both banks of the Rímac River. In the 16th century, the Spaniard Pizarro founded the city here. Over the following centuries, churches, convents, mansions, and squares were built one after another. The old town long served as the political and religious center of the Viceroyalty of Peru, with facades in Renaissance, Baroque, Neo-Baroque, and Neoclassical styles layered upon one another, where traces of Mediterranean, Moorish, and Andalusian decorative techniques can also be seen. A highly recognizable feature of the old town is the rows of carved wooden balconies, mostly built between the late 17th and 18th centuries, which are intricately carved and projecting. The Palacio de Torre Tagle and Casa de Osambela are representative examples. The old town is compact, spreading out from the Lima Main Square along pedestrian streets, and the main attractions can be connected on foot. The changing of the guard in front of the Government Palace is also a common sight in the square.

The taxi will wait for you at the door and take you back. In addition, the labels of the exhibits are clearly written, and there is no need for a guide. The pottery and textiles of the Inca culture are so amazing.

Lovers Park. A beautiful park overlooking the ocean. Next to the High End Larcomar Mall. Take a stroll by day and also enjoy at night. As you stroll by, make sure to read the tiled engraved phrases of love. Nice place to visit as you make a trip to Larcomar.

Our trip to Peru was to visit the mysterious Inca culture, and the Pukayana ruins were the first Inca culture we came into contact with. This is the ruins of the early Inca civilization and is worth visiting.
