Definitely worth a visit, this is a great place to relax over a chilled beer
while you watch the sun go down over Pacific.
During the day the pace of life is more gentle here than in the rest of the
city, but at night, this is a place for dancing and drinking.
Called the "City of the Mills" for the great quantity of these that existed in
the past.
During the Colony and beginnings of the Republic it was the favorite marine
spa of the wealthy families of Lima.
Today is a district of Lima, of numerous houses of Colonial construction,
beautiful squares, gentle place of poets and artists, bohemians' point.
The romantic "Puente de los Suspiros" (Bridge of the Sighs) that
crosses one of its gulches is frequented by courting couples, and it was immortalized by

At nights a great quantity of pubs, discotheques and night centers offer shows of different style
and variety, "peñas" with Creole and Peruvian music. Good restaurants of
variety cuisine also exist and outstand those of Peruvian typical food and
