A Private Miraflores Tour That Goes from Day to Night
Miraflores is where most travelers stay in Lima, and it’s also where Cristian started guiding. This private tour shows you the clifftop Malecón at its best hour, then crosses into bohemian Barranco before ending at the Magic Water Circuit after dark.
You explore Miraflores and Barranco on foot, at your own pace. Your private vehicle handles the drives in between, so the four hours are spent seeing Lima, not waiting for taxis.
