From €13 per person
See availability →This Barranco street art walking tour leads you through the bohemian side of Lima: murals, the Bajada de Baños and the Bridge of Sighs, with a local guide and photo stops.
A Barranco street art walking tour is the quickest way to meet Lima's creative, bohemian side. The two hours start at the Municipal Park and the district's main square, where neoclassical facades set the scene before the walls begin to talk.
- Barranco Municipal Park and the main square, with the story of how the district grew
- Walls covered in murals and graffiti, Lima's biggest open-air gallery and a gift for your camera
- Bajada de Baños, the old path down to the beach, now lined with cafés and bars
- The Bridge of Sighs, a romantic corner wrapped in legends
- The malecón, with the ocean in front of you
Along the way the guide explains how Barranco changed over time, from the houses of the 1900s with their wooden balconies to today's real-estate boom, and leaves you time to stop for photos at the key landmarks.
The pace is relaxed and the route is highly visual, so it suits anyone who wants a taste of Lima beyond the historic center. The walk is not recommended for people with mobility impairments. Hotel transfers, food and drinks are not part of the tour.
