After experiencing altitude sickness and breathing problems almost everyday, I was so happy to be back in Lima. Everything has gone back to normal once more. We stayed at our first hotel when we arrived in Peru, Hotel Antigua Miraflores. Jesus posted our schedule at the hotel lobby which read -- " farewell dinner given by tour company -- departure 7:00pm ".
This was our last day here in Peru.. Lulu and I wanted to see Larcomar. From the information we got at our hotel, Larcomar was a 20 minute walk from our hotel. Walking along the coast we got to watch some surfers catching continuous waves, paragliders shadowing over and around the buildings lining the path and locals doing workouts whether it be cycling, outdoor gyms, running, rollerblading or climbing steps. The parks along the route were immaculate and lots of people just lay about reading or writing notes.
Upon arriving at Larcomar I was impressed!! It was an ultra-modern shopping/restaurant complex perched on the cliffs high above the ocean in the Miraflores district where we stayed.
On the first level, as you go down the stairs, you will see several shops and restaurants. Among others, there is a STARBUCKS where you can get your usual espresso, latte, etc. There are other shops and restaurants on the second level down, accessible by normal staircases or escalators.
On our way back to our hotel, we passed by El Parco del Amor ( Love Park ). Miraflores is considered one of the most exclusive districts in Lima. There are luxurios hotels, pubs, discos, restaurant and places of entertainment. Although this disctrict is not only attractive for its buildings but also for its beautiful parks and gardens. El Parco del Amor is located on the cliffs of Miraflores overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It’s a place dedicated to all lovers and offers a stunning view over the bay of Lima.
This statue was made by Victor Delfin. It is the most impressive sculpture of Love Park and it describes two lovers in a passionate kiss. It’s normal during the day and night see couples here, kissing or snuggled close together.
