A Walk of Unity and Hope Connecting Miraflores and Barranco
Lima has a new icon on its coastline. Yesterday, August 21, 2025, the pedestrian bridge officially opened, linking the districts of Miraflores and Barranco, creating an unprecedented coastal walk for locals and visitors. This new tourist bridge is not just an infrastructure project; it’s a symbol that connects two of the capital’s most emblematic neighborhoods, offering spectacular views and an unmatched experience.
A Long-Awaited Connection
For years, the transition between bohemian Barranco and modern Miraflores along the Costa Verde cliffside was a challenge. Now, this new bridge has solved it. With a modern and minimalist design, the bridge allows pedestrians and cyclists to move freely between the two districts, creating a seamless circuit from the Malecón de Miraflores to the historic Bajada de Baños in Barranco.
This bridge marks a turning point in the history of Miraflores and Barranco. They are united by peace and love.

Dreamy Views and Unmissable Photos
The bridge’s main attraction is undoubtedly its panoramic view. From its structure, visitors can enjoy a full panorama of the Costa Verde, with the vast Pacific Ocean on one side and the impressive cliffs on the other. It has instantly become a new favorite spot for photography lovers, especially during sunset, when the sun paints the sky in golden and reddish tones, creating a breathtaking natural spectacle.
The New Bohemian and Modern Corridor
The opening of this bridge transforms tourism in the area. Now it’s easier than ever to:
- Walk from the Parque del Amor in Miraflores to the heart of Barranco, exploring its art galleries, restaurants, and the famous Puente de los Suspiros.
- Enjoy an afternoon of shopping in Miraflores, then cross over to Barranco and experience its vibrant nightlife—all in one continuous pedestrian stroll.
- Access the beaches and restaurants of the Costa Verde more directly, using the stairs and paths that connect to the bridge.
