Having spent too much time lingering in Miraflores it was time to visit one of the more colorful areas of Lima known as Barranco.
Our first impressions of Barranco - Lima, Peru Travel Video Transcript:
So we are always spending so much time in Miraflores because that is where my family lives; however, you guys have been telling us you need to see other parts of Lima so today that is exactly what we are doing. We're checking out Barranco which is a very artsy neighborhood. Apparently, this used to be like a bohemian hangout back in the 60s. So we're just going to go explore on foot. We don't really know what to expect but so far we are seeing lots of street art and looks pretty cool.
So do you want to tell us your first impressions of Barranco so far?
Yeah, the neighborhood is even more colorful than we expected. We've been wandering around for a little while and we've seen tonnes of different restaurants, there is a lot of colorful buildings and there is a lot of really cool street art as well.
So we've found a nice little lookout point here, right?
Yeah, as you get closer to the boardwalk you have some awesome views and we didn't realize that so many people went to the beach here in Lima. We thought the waters might be too cold but there are a lot of people out in the water enjoying it today.
So we have now been walking around Barranco for a while and we have finally come across the main attraction in this neighborhood. We are standing in front of the bridge of sighs. A really romantic spot for young couples. Apparently, this bridge has made lots of appearances in Peruvian songs and poetry. So yeah, lots of romance happening over here. Let's take a walk.
So that was a fun little introduction to Barranco. What did you think of the place? Yeah, this neighborhood is a fun, artsy kind of area. We only spent a couple of hours here in the afternoon. It would be really cool to come at night and see what the nightlife is all about.
Yeah, they have lots of bars and restaurants worth checking out. Yeah, it definitely seems that way. Yes.
