Costa Verde

Stretching along Lima’s Pacific shoreline, the Costa Verde is a dramatic coastal strip where cliffs meet beaches, popular for walking, cycling, and paragliding. Neighborhoods like Miraflores and Barranco offer easy access to parks, seaside promenades, and surf breaks. Sunsets are a reliable draw, and the Malecon’s viewpoints provide broad city-and-sea vistas. Dining ranges from casual cevicherías to upscale restaurants overlooking the water. Note that beaches are pebbly and the Humboldt Current keeps water cool year-round. Convenient for a half-day visit, the Costa Verde suits travelers seeking scenic urban coastline, outdoor activity, and a snapshot of modern Lima.
