Malecón.

Perched high on the cliffs of Miraflores, the Malecón de la Reserva is a scenic promenade that hugs Lima’s dramatic coastline. Designed to follow the natural curves of the bluff rather than a rigid grid, this pedestrian-friendly stretch connects a series of green spaces, including the mosaic-clad Parque del Amor—home to Victor Delfín’s iconic sculpture *El Beso*—and the subterranean Larcomar shopping complex. Beyond the panoramic Pacific Ocean views, the coastal path is a lively hub for paragliders catching the ocean drafts, joggers, and cyclists. Historic touches, like century-old casonas and a name honoring the defenders of the 1881 Battle of Miraflores, ground this breezy, active corridor in Lima's past, making it the city's ultimate sunset-watching perch.
