Join the Free Barranco Tour in Lima and have an unforgettable stroll along one of the coolest neighborhoods in the capital of Peru. The Barranco District has its origins in the beginning of the 19th century when the enlightened movement arrived in Peru, and with it, a new importance was placed on health and hygiene. In Barranco the air was cleaner and purer, and the sun shone more than it did in grey Lima old town, therefore it became the perfect place to combat the so feared tuberculosis. With time the city grew and Barranco became just one more neighborhood of the great metropolis. However, it always was, and still is, a different neighborhood, the place where artists, writers and poets chose to live.

A local and expert guide will be in charge of leading you in a tour that wanders among unparalleled views of natural and urban landscapes. Barranco boasts nice open-air areas such as the Municipal Park and Armas Square, where you can enjoy the sky and rest under a tree. Nearby your guide will show interesting colonial buildings, such as the charming Santisima Cruz Church, and many other colorful mansions and summer houses. The tour will offer an opportunity to dive into the bohemian atmosphere of Barranco, walk through its quiet streets, enjoy its beautiful architecture and cross the famous Bridge of Sighs. According to popular belief, if you make a wish and hold your breath as you walk across the wooden bridge, your wish will come true!

Before coming on the tour, make sure your phone’s battery is fully charged, because there will be many opportunities to stop and take photos of amazing street art and learn about graffiti culture in Peru. You will also have opportunities to go window-shopping in quirky boutiques, art galleries, gourmet food shops and craft beer parlors. Some of the best restaurants and cocktail bars in Lima are tucked in the secret alleys of Barranco, so make sure to ask your guide about them! On the Free Barranco Tour you will immerse yourself in a neighborhood which is as emblematic as it is beautiful, you will see superb bohemian streets and meet new people in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
