Description
A tour of Barranco's three residential boardwalks and each of its eight parks and mansions, each with its own history and interesting features. Visitors can enjoy the angles of the cliffs at each stop, overlooking the beaches of the Costa Verde circuit, both south and north.
The route will start at the entrance of the Museum of Contemporary Art / MAC (former Barranco Zoo), passing the artistic "Pasaje de los Barranquinos Ilustres" and the "Parque de los Héroes de 1881" near the Malecón Paul Harris with its recently inaugurated "Puente de la Paz" (2025) , reaching the halfway point at the Alameda Sáenz Peña del Malecón Souza , continuing through the " Malecón de los Ingleses" Park to finally reach the emblematic Puente de los Suspiros , Bajada de Baños, Barranco's central park and surroundings.
[ NOTE: 10 additional optional points of visit will be included when choosing or extending within the total route completed to the Beaches or Malecón Grau de Chorrillos, please read the Itinerary list]
At some points in the Parks, the Malecones and the Alameda Sáenz Peña there will be a few brief minutes of pause and rest to hydrate, eat a snack, *Have breakfast / have a Coffee / taste Chocolates, Liquors (*only at "la Espiga de Oro", "D'onofrio" or the "Dédalo" ) and to go to the bathroom (in some available / with prior notice) so it is recommended to be a good walker for an optimal and healthy tour of approximately 4 hours of pure tourist satisfaction and a unique experience in the breeze of the sea air above the Sea.
REMEMBER dear Travelers that on this tour it is recommended to have good shoes to walk comfortably. Not all of the Urban City Tour will be a constant 4-hour walk, rest periods of 5 to 10 minutes will be divided, even in the break to have Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner within the route for 3 0 to 40 minutes . This same process will also apply to the other urban-tourist tours that I offer in GURU WALK of " Visiting the 4 Malecones of Miraflores facing the Sea ", " San Isidro, from the Olive Grove Forest to the Pear of Love and the Sea ", " Magdalena del Mar, popular Gastronomic Tour and its surroundings " and especially that of " CLASSIC LIMA (1935 - 1535): From the Residential Fence to the Plaza Mayor ".
On this tour, the itinerary and start times can be modified/customized at the traveler's request on the same day without having to cancel the Urban City Tour at the last minute. For older travelers or adults with children, you can pick them up at their accommodations and take them directly to the meeting point using an Uber or public transportation, provided it is located in Barranco or in the districts of Miraflores and San Isidro .
