Highlights:
Spectacular Views:
The Malecón provides stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, making it a perfect spot for watching the sunset. The cliffs offer breathtaking vistas that are a favorite among photographers and sightseers.
Lush Green Spaces:
The Malecón is composed of several beautifully landscaped parks, including Parque Kennedy, Parque del Amor, and Parque Raimondi. Each park features vibrant gardens, well-maintained lawns, and a variety of local flora.

Throughout the Malecón, you’ll find various sculptures and public art installations that add an artistic touch to the scenic surroundings. Notable works include the famous "El Beso" sculpture in Parque del Amor.

For the adventurous, the Malecón is a prime spot for paragliding. Launching from the cliffs provides an exhilarating way to take in the coastal views from above, offering a unique perspective of Lima's coastline.
Relaxation Spots:
Numerous benches and lookout points along the Malecón provide perfect spots to relax and enjoy the view. The sea breeze and the sound of the waves create a calming atmosphere. Honestly, one of my favorite places in Lima to relax was strolling through the Malecón.

The Malecón frequently hosts cultural events, outdoor concerts, and festivals, adding to its vibrant community atmosphere. It's a lively place where locals and tourists alike gather to enjoy the arts and nature.

"Malecon is a boardwalk in the district of Miraflores, which gives spectacular views of the Ocean and the beaches below. Because of the beautiful views and easy walk.
Miraflores stretches for about 8 km along the coast, and it is a preferred area of both tourists and locals alike. Stop by the Larcomar shopping center to check out the amazing view from there, see paragliders flying around the area (or better do it yourself), rent a bike, or simply walk through football courts and lovely gardens filled with flowers!"
