You can stroll through the park and find enchanting things to do any day of the week. Beautiful flowers and old trees, musicians, artists selling paintings, hippies, 7 nights a week there's an artisans market in the center. Really wonderful to go to. More

A green lunge in Miraflores. Surrounded by shops, restaurants and fast food-stores you can kill some hours eating, shopping and peoplewatching. The park itself is nothing special, but it is a gathering point for the locals. More

Touristy? Perhaps but also worth roaming the streets and parque in a safe environment. We actually saw many local residents enjoying the restaurants and outdoor areas. More

The park itself is charming for the cats, political characters, and artists, and one or two good restaurants... but be wary of opportunists. Wait staff will almost always get the bill wrong.. sometimes twice. It's definitely tourist central. The central oval with vendors is worth a browse with reasonably prices. You can barter, but usually for just a few soles. More

Kennedy Park is full of free-roaming tame cats who are up for petting. The park itself is nice, but without the cats it is nothing. Go to see them climb trees, chase flowers and dart around, it is adorable. I would love it if the city would do more to protect these cats and invest in a TNR and medical... More

Miraflores may once have been a garden suburb, but it isn't any more. Here in its center the city pulsates, and the park is something of a refuge. Haiti, the very pleasant restaurant patronized by what passes for Lima's intelligentsia, is there. More

This is the center of Miraflores. Close to the Indian Market. Great food selections and shopping. Good place to pass the day while waiting for an international departure. Allow 45 minutes to return to the airport. Only blocks from the beach. More
