Miraflores which includes a city and a bridge
Enjoy extraordinary views of the Pacific Ocean, wander boutiques in an award-winning mall and savour top-class restaurant meals in this wealthy district.

Admire the spectacular views and flashy architecture to be found around Miraflores. This affluent district is spotted with attractive parks, exceptional dining options and plazas with views of the Pacific Ocean. Whether spending a day at its extraordinary shopping centre or hitting the town at one of many night time salsa bars, this suburb charms all visitors.

This area, covering 9 square kilometres (3.7 square miles), was officially inaugurated in 1857. It may also be called Ciudad Heroica (Heroic City) owing to the fact it was a pivotal defensive fort during a war with Chile. Though part of Lima, Miraflores acts like a city within itself. Travellers can feel safe and secure with a district police station specifically established to protect them.

Wonder at the award-winning design of Larcomar, the district's iconic shopping centre. Scan panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean from its cliff top lookouts while you browse its upmarket boutiques. Enjoy a meal with a view at one of many fine dining options. As the sun sets, join throngs of party-goers dancing at the mall disco.

As a coastal district, Miraflores' beachside offers visitors many coastal pleasures. Lie out a towel or hit the waves on your surfboard. In the suburb centre, Parque Central (Central Park), is a pleasant touch of green surrounded by shops and cafés. Spend an afternoon wandering these charming pedestrian-only pathways or relaxing in Parque Kennedy. Enjoy the beautiful Church of Virgen Milagrosa in the park's centre.

Not far away, the Huaca Pucllana is an ancient temple built by the Lima civilisation. Wander the weathered paths and ruins of the complex. Learn about their culture with an informative English-spoken guided tour.

Miraflores is a coastal suburb located in Lima's southwest area. Its surrounding districts include San Isidro to the north and Santiago de Surco in the east. Get there by taxi from the city centre. The Take a 9.7-kilometer (6-mile) journey uses the Expresa Highway and takes around 20 minutes.
