Romantic Things to Do in Lima for Couples

Lima does not always get credit as a romantic destination. It should. The city's combination of dramatic Pacific cliffs, bohemian neighborhoods, exceptional restaurants, and warm Latin culture makes it a natural stage for romance. SUNSET ON THE MALECÓN Simply put: one of the most beautiful urban sunsets on earth. Stand at the edge of the Miraflores cliffs as the Pacific turns gold and orange, and watch paragliders drift silently above the waves. Best spot: Parque del Amor or Parque Raimondi. PRIVATE BIKE TOUR FOR TWO A private guided bike tour along the coast is the perfect couple's activity. You go at your own pace, stop wherever you like, and have the guide's full attention. Add a picnic on the Malecón for a genuinely memorable morning. CROSSING THE PUENTE DE LOS SUSPIROS Lima's most romantic spot. Hold your breath, make a wish, and legend says your love will be blessed. DINNER WITH AN OCEAN VIEW Miraflores has dozens of restaurants perched on the cliffs with Pacific views. For a special occasion: Alfresco (upscale Peruvian-international), La Rosa Náutica (historic pier restaurant), or any of the cliffside terraces. CHICHA MORADA AND SUNSET COCKTAILS Lima's bar scene in Barranco is the most romantic in the city. Try a Pisco Sour at La Posada del Mirador, a cliff-edge bar with views that rival anything in the world.
