Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Zig Zag Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request

Rooms to avoid

Principali attrazioni a Miraflores
💡 Rent a bike from one of the stands near Parque del Amor for about 10 soles per hour. Start at Parque Kennedy and head south toward Barranco for a quieter stretch with fewer tourists.
💡 Go just before sunset to grab a bench on the western edge. Locals also use the grass for picnics, so bring a snack if you want to linger.
💡 Visit on Sunday evenings for the free artisan market and live music. The cats are friendly but do not feed them—locals do it, and the food sold nearby is not good for them.
💡 Free entry on the first Sunday of each month. Otherwise it's 12 soles. Check the schedule—they often have free guided tours in Spanish and English on Saturdays at 11 AM.
💡 Entry costs 15 soles, but on Sundays it's half price. Go early around 9 AM to avoid tour groups. The on-site restaurant serves decent Peruvian food with a view of the ruins.
