The 25 best boardwalks, piers, and marinas in Lima

It's a shopping mall located right on the beach. The atmosphere is quiet and there's a cool sea breeze blowing all the time. Inside, there are many restaurants and shops. You can see the Pacific Ocean. I went in winter, the sea was rough, and the sky was always gray.

Nice outdoor mall. Very nice place to visit for a bite to eat and to hear the ocean waves crash ashore. Very peaceful and safe. I would highly recommend if visiting Lima to pay this place a visit. The Paddington Bear statue is also nearby which is cute.

Shop of Shame!! If you're a shopper snob and looking for high-end brands or even mid-range quality, look elsewhere. This store is a treasure trove of low-end, barely recognizable American brands that you'd probably overlook in the States. It's like they've got a magnet for the most obscure imports. Locals seem to be few and far between, but the shopkeepers are enthusiastic about peddling Alpaca clothes to anyone who'll listen. Buyer beware!

Larcomar Mall in Miraflores Mall is really nice place to do shopping and few restaurants with see view. Please see the video and pictures. You can walk from Larcomar to Barranco

Just beautiful shopping mall, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, in the ritzy Miraflores neighborhood of Lima. Lots of shops and restaurants and beautiful views of the sea.

Amazing scenic mall - mainly American stores, but the restaurants have an amazing view of the ocean. I’d go just for the amazing pictures you can take.

i ain't ever seen a mall on the ocean until now. immediate 10/10, and it was very clean. lots of places to get snacks or shop!

The tour was excellent! It lasted about 40 minutes, and the guides were very knowledgeable. The ruins are in the middle of Miraflores, right next to a great restaurant with a beautiful view of the site. Just note that the night tour doesn’t allow you to go to the top of the ruins — that’s only possible during the day.

An incredible archaeological site in the heart of Miraflores! 🏛️ The 2,000-year-old adobe pyramid showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of ancient builders. The 40-minute guided tour (S/15, available in English or Spanish) is informative and engaging. Note: the night tour doesn’t include access to the top, but we took it and still loved the experience. A must-visit for history lovers in Lima!

Fascinating study of the dedication of the ancients in building structures covering great areas with handmade vertical bricks. On some you can even see their hand and finger prints! Our guide shared a wide scope of knowledge from all of those who lived here, their customs, foods they planted and consumed, burial rites, beliefs, skills... He was a great guide to his heritage and this enormous site in the middle of the city. (Unfortunately, there is a listing for a "minizoo" here. While seeing the 7 famous llamas, alpacas and dozens+ guinea pigs was an interesting part of the tour...that does Not qualify the Very minimum pen and feeding bin as a "zoo." There is a genuine one elsewhere. The handful of indigenousanimals here are just to enlighten visitors as to the animals the original denizens had for food, like the well-planted garden.) This is a healthy, enlightening educational walk through an amazing ancient world. (PS- Please bring some currency to show your appreciation to your fascinating guide!!)

Worth a visit but just bare in mind you must go round with a tour guide and once you've seen one part of the temple you've sort of seen it all. There were some interesting facts and it made for a good walk. There are some cute llamas or alpacas and guinea pigs 😊

I want to say I loved it, listen - it's historical and the guide was good. Spoke very good English and the Llamas / Guinea pigs at the end are cute. It's interesting, and they're still excavating. The tour takes little under an hour.. tips for the guide are nice! They do a good job. You walk up some steepish parts, and it's sandy - so don't wear slides. ;) Worth a visit... And the restaurant overlooking the ruins is fab! But gets busy. There are other restaurants just outside too. (Not overlooking the ruins) If you're in Lima and like history.. go. I was just a little bit bored at times. 🙊

Huaca Pucllana: 4000-year-old pyramid, check. Boring guide who puts you to sleep, check. If you're gonna make me walk on ancient genius pyramid, at least make the tour entertaining. Suggestion: skip the guide and hit up the Larco Museum first. Learn more over there Trust me, you'll be way more impressed when you finally get to the real education. And honestly, just read the Wikipedia page, you'll learn more. Need tour guide and takes about one hour.

Went Sunday afternoon. A bit of a wait ' half an hour as I had not made a reservation. Entry was 15 soles. Than waited another 20 minutes for English guide and to get numbers for tour. (Recommend you make reservation and you can walk past line) Very interesting tour. The walk is easy around site. Love how this is right in Milaflores easy for most tourists to get too.

The Malecón in Miraflores is one of the most beautiful spots to experience in Lima, especially in the morning. Walking along the cliffs with the Pacific Ocean stretching endlessly in front of you is truly breathtaking. The fresh morning breeze, the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, and the calm atmosphere make it a perfect place to start the day. The parks along the Malecón are well-maintained with colorful flowers, palm trees, and jogging or cycling tracks where you can see locals staying active. In the early hours, it feels peaceful and less crowded, giving you uninterrupted views of the ocean and the sunrise glow reflecting over the water. The scenic beauty, combined with the clean pathways and green spaces, makes the Malecón a must-visit not just for tourists but also for anyone who loves nature and tranquility.

Such a beautiful place for a walk to catch the sunset. Lots of areas to sit and green space for the dogs and kids to play or to picnic.

Nice place for a leisure walk. Beautiful sunset

Great place to watch sunset, go for a walk/run or date! We stayed close to here and came to this park every evening to watch the sunset over the pacific ocean

A nice walk to take in the beautiful coastal views of Lima

Llloovveeddd this malecon. The views were beautiful, super cute dogs everywhere, very peaceful, and clean. It was a great walk that will help you clear your mind for sure.

It’s a nice walk with beautiful views of the Pacific ocean. Path is paved and easy to walk on, seems accessible even by wheelchair. There were many families with young kids and couples walking and just relaxing. Best time to walk is right around sunset. We started around the malecon marker on google map around 5:30pm and walked towards Larcomar. We saw folks paragliding in the sunset which looked beautiful. Also nice to be at the resto around sunset for dinner.

This is a nice little park along the walkway linking many other parks. It is a good place to sit down and have a rest. There is a small cafe nearby to grab a coffee or soft drink.

Love park is great place to take a break and go for a walk to get good energy and positive vibe!!

It's a beautiful park, but too small with too many people. If you have plenty time, it worth to go.

Very beautiful park plus there are several parks interconnected and they are very nice with beautiful view have to see it

Nothing special. Some writings on the walls are vulgar, which I did not find romantic or poetic. It's an area full of people who want to sell you souvenirs, which gets a bit annoying given the concentration of sellers.

Cute park to sit and take great pictures. Kind of annoying the persistent people selling locks for the love fence. Other then that we had a great time.

I love this park. First time in Lima June 2025, sunny day, amazing sunset, nice people good vibes.

Small park, great spot for sunset and easy to get there

Honestly the best place to watch the sunset.... You gonna have to fight for a spot tho

One of the best sunsets ever

Intihuatana Park, or Parque Intihuatana as it is known locally, is one of the many parks along the spectacular Malecon (“boardwalk” in Spanish) of Miraflores, Lima's affluent and picturesque seaside district. It's a fairly small park but nonetheless offers spectacular views over the bay of Lima and the Pacific Ocean. It's a great park to just sit and ponder, people watch, or look out over the beach of Miraflores, watch the surfers riding the waves or the paragliders soaring into the skies high above the Pacific. What I like about the parks along the Malecon is that each has one or more unique characteristic features or attractions and at Parque Intihuatana this is the rather formidable Intihuatana sculpture made by Peruvian visual artist Fernando de Szyszlo. There can be little doubt, the Malecon of Miraflores is one of the most beautiful places in Lima and during your visit there, you must visit Intihuatana Park and watch the amazing para gliders soaring into the skies high above the Pacific and also see amazing Fernando de Szyszlo's Intihuatana. Your visit is highly recommended.

A wonderful place to walk and watch the sunset from.

Best view of the whole area

(Translated by Google) This park, located on the boardwalk, is a quiet, garden-like park, well maintained, where surfers go down to the sea with their boards. The park has chairs and shade to sit and relax. There is a small French restaurant. (Original) Este Parque ubicado en el malecón, es un parque tranquilo, leso de jardín, bien cuidado, donde los surfistas bajan al mar con sus tablas. El parque tiene sillas y sombra para sentarse y relajarse. Hay un pequeño restaurante francés.

Great for beginner surfers. The beach is all rocks, not sand, so wear sandals. The locals are nice, ans surf lessons are reasonably priced. My girlfriend amd I went surfing for the first time and we both got up on the surfboard. She didn't even know how to swim. There's ussually a few locals with GoPros who will sell you pictures and videos of you surfing. Great experience!

Playa Makaha is one of the most iconic surfing beaches in Lima and a must-visit for anyone wanting to catch waves along the Costa Verde. Known for its consistent surf, it attracts both beginners and seasoned surfers. Several surf schools and board rental shops operate right at the beach, making it one of the easiest spots to learn or practice. The beach is rocky, like most in Lima, so it’s not ideal for sunbathing, but the lively surf culture more than makes up for it. The view of the cliffs and the Malecón above adds to the atmosphere, and it’s also a great place to simply watch surfers in action if you’re not hitting the water yourself. Overall, Playa Makaha is best for surfing and soaking up Lima’s coastal energy—one of the top choices for water sports in Miraflores.

Playa Makaha or Macaca hmmm. Nice from afar but once up close the beach smells weird and the muscles are spoiling on the rocks and flys everywhere. If you don't mind this then it's ok.

If you visit Lima, Peru. Going to the ocean is a must! Absolutely beautiful. Miraflores is a popular tourist attraction.

Ok, we didn’t go to water. High waves are not letting you swim and highway is very close which makes it smell like car fumes and it’s noisy. Some ppl surf there

Nice surfing beach, but there are sea urchins. Make sure you wear water shoes and try not to step on the rocks.

If you like surfing and you are in Peru this is the place to go. It has wind and waves are good. It can be cloudy and humid at night because of Peru location. Makaha Beach is often used as a training place, where you can see surf instructors training young surfers. The Makaha beach waves are of the Artificial Reef type and they are different because of the height they reach that exceeds that of their neighboring beaches. Short walk from Miraflores.

(Translated by Google) It is one of the first markets that had everything and fish on a large scale to supply all of Lima but little by little it has been declining, but how nice I went today and it is like those times. And with its new tracks, better access.

(Translated by Google) Terrible. The lady does attend, and obviously charges you. But sometimes there is a guy who responds ugly to you. He thinks you're going to ask for a free bathroom and he cuts you off saying: there isn't one. Generally there is always a very nice lady. (Original) Terrible. La Srta si atiende, y obviamente te cobra. Pero a veces hay un tipo que te responde feo. Cree que le vas a pedir baño de gratis y te corta feo diciendo: no hay. Generalmente siempre hay una Srta bien amable.

(Translated by Google) I love Kennedy Park very much. I go there whenever I can to pet the cats, but they should be more attentive to their needs, and they should also improve their security because there's always some scammer walking around, scamming people. (Original) Amo mucho el parque kennedy, siempre que puedo voy ahí a darle cariñitos a los gatitos, pero deberían ser mas amables con su atención, y también deberian mejorar su seguridad por que siempre hay algún estafador andando por ahí, estafando a la gente.

(Translated by Google) free toilet services at Kennedy Park in Miraflores. (Original) servicios higiénicos gratuitos del parque Kennedy en Miraflores.

(Translated by Google) Interesting proposal for public toilet services. I don't know if it's because there is construction around but there is no water, I hope that improves. The municipality has personnel who constantly visit it to keep it clean. (Original) Interesante propuesta de servicios higiénicos públicos.

(Translated by Google) It is the best-proportioned access to the park, surpassing the almost non-existent solutions at the southern (the pool) and northern (the station) ends. Its size would allow it to house the STATION and, incidentally, include the FIRE PUMP relic that the firefighters have in their premises near Plaza San Martín on the Jirón de la Unión. It has the structures to shade public access and parking that none of the other entrances have. (Original) Es el acceso mejor proporcionado del parque, supera a las casi inexistentes soluciones de los extremos sur ( la piscina ) y norte ( la estación ). Su tamaño permitiría albergar a la ESTACIÓN y de paso incluir a la reliquia de BOMBA CONTRA INCENDIOS que los bomberos tienen en su local cercano a la plaza San Martín sobre el jirón de la Unión. Tiene las estructuras para sombrear el acceso y estacioniento público que no tiene ninguno de los otros ingresos.
