Barranco
Like San Isidro and Miraflores, Barranco is an upscale district of Lima. Barranco is located south of the city center; San Isidro and Miraflores, on the waterfront. It is home to several hotels and restaurants. Formerly a beach resort of sorts in Lima, today the district is known for a thriving arts and music scene, but there are also good bars and nightclubs.
