Barranco

Barranco is one of the smallest districts, however, it is also the bohemian area of ​​Lima for being the place of residence of many local artists.

Over time, it became the summer resort for upper-class families, who installed their large beach house in this district. Nowadays Barranco is one of the most moved and safe districts of Lima, with a variety of lodging options, so staying here is a good alternative.
