Miraflores, Peru, was settled in the pre-colonial period as a small fishing village. Later in the colonial period became a nice resort and agricultural area due to the presence of small streams from the Rimac delta.  At present, it is a district of gardens and the busiest beaches of the city. Without a doubt, it is also the tourist and hotels district for its excellence. The neighborhood is modern, cheerful, colourful, and very pleasant to stroll about and enjoy the large commercial areas, parks and green spaces.   It is an area of intense artistic and cultural activity which unfolds in the good theatres, cinemas and art galleries.  It is also the site of the pre-Inca temple Huaca Pucllana. Visit its cafes, pubs and restaurants and take in the fresh air at its restored gardens which on Sundays, attracts hundreds of locals and tourists to the painting exhibitions and music events.  The setting of the district cannot be better.

The heart of Miraflores is the end of old main trunk that connects to the old centre of Lima, and the nearby Express Avenue facilitates high speed connectivity. The pedestrian network is well organized and the central park creates great amenity for the surrounding areas.

The seating facilities are more common around the more public areas in the center of the district and amenity areas near the causeway along the sea. ItÍs very clean and well maintained.
