Barrranco! I just love saying it. Let the r roll away 🙂 I had read about the Lima area before coming, but had not put it on a must-do list, more of backup plan. When it turned out I had time to spare, I decided to get in a taxi and go explore. Immediately after being dropped off, I was a bit unsure whether it was a good idea or not. Because it was all so quiet. Not much people around. After making myself a bit familiar with where on the map I was, I headed towards the sea, and there I found the most cozy and colourful spot. It melted my heart 🙂 And not just mine, there was a photo shoot going on in front of the colourful houses, so there are several besides me who acknowledge the uniqueness. You can walk all the way down to the sea, and the alley like street taking you there is lined with restaurants, bars and cafes. This must be an exquisite place at night! Barranco appeared to be small neighbourhood, at least the centre of it, but undoubtedly a great one.

Nothing beats colourful houses on a grey day 🙂
I love colours!!
Barranco was my favourite area of Lima! I just couldn’t get over all of the beautful houses and colours.
Totally agree!!
Oh we too enjoyed Lima.
The food was fantastic, the city easy to get around. A little chaotic but it works
I mostly stayed in Miraflores. Went to this amazing restaurant there, rated 4th best restaurant in the world last year. I did taxis…
Yes we too. Its a beautiful part of the city. The museum of artefacts at Larco was fantastic!
Didn’t know there was a museum there.
Larco Museum. Did you not go?
Nope. I’ve OD’ed on museums a long time ago. They have to be truly exceptional for me to go these days.
Oh yes, the Larco indeed is in our opinion. This private collector commissioned lots of work on his own expense and opened it to the public. There is an incredible array of Inca art that was on display!
