Things to Do in Miraflores

A long coastal walkway that runs along the clifftops, with parks, gardens, and lookout points. It connects several smaller parks and is ideal for walking, cycling, or jogging.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 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.

A clifftop park with a large kissing sculpture, mosaic benches, and sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. It's a popular spot for sunsets and people-watching along the Malecón.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 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.

The central square of Miraflores, named after President John F. Kennedy. It has gardens, a small amphitheatre, and is a hive of activity with street vendors, musicians, and dozens of resident cats.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 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.

A small contemporary art museum with rotating exhibitions of Peruvian and international artists. The building itself is modern, with a sculpture garden and a café facing the sea.

🕐 Tue–Sun 10:00–18:00, closed Mondays

💡 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.

An adobe pyramid from the Lima culture (200–700 AD), sitting right in the middle of Miraflores. There's a small museum and guided tours that explain the site's history and recent excavations.

🕐 Wed–Mon 09:00–17:00, closed Tuesdays

💡 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.
