Miraflores Magic - A Visit to Larcomar
Shelby Howe
Worth a stop when in Lima
Lima’s Miraflores neighborhood is home to Parque del Amor, which overlooks the sea and was built to celebrate love in all of its forms. It’s best known for the large sculpture “El Beso” (“The Kiss”) by Peruvian artist Victor Delfín, but the mosaics along the undulating walls and benches are my favorite. Lines from Peruvian poets are included within the mosaics, including this one from Augusto Tamayo Vargas: “Tu estas por encima del infinito mar” or “You are above the infinite sea” 💜 - Also, Larcomar's shopping and cliffside restaurants are worth a stop while you're there.
