The best about the Miraflores neighbourhood in Lima is the splendid sea view. Otherwise it is more of a generic, high-end place with shops, restaurants, and what else you expect to find in a city. The area’s huge shopping mall, Larcomar, has taken the best spot, and thereby offering restaurants with a superb view. When strolling the streets I also came across a couple of artisan markets. Not the most impressive ones, but I did fall in love with a Cusco woman’s paintings, now hanging on the wall in my apartment 🙂 Love the colours! Even though Miraflores might not be the most exciting part of town, it is a good place to base yourself.
That sea view is gorgeous! This is a good tip for staying in the Lima area. Thanks for linking up, #wkendtravelinspiration
Yes, it is! Great place to stay as well.
Well yes Miraflores itself is suppose to be the “upclass” neighbourhood. We stayed there for almost a week with Suan’s brother who happened to be in town with the Cirque. Got around to the Larco, went to the “inca market” etc. a good place to rest after Machu and Cusco!
Wow, you stayed for a long time. I was only there for three whole days. Got a painting at the Inca market 🙂
LOL. We did not buy anything… though it was suppose to support the local small businesses. In fact, we did not buy anything throughout the 2+ weeks we were in Peru. Must be a record
That is an accomplishment 🙂 I try to stay away from all those souvenirs, but this one was a nice, colourful piece, I love colours!
Oh yes, you bet we wee drawn to the colors like birds..
