WHY BARRANCO?
Barranco, originally founded by Spanish settlers, earned the nickname "City of Windmills" due to their use of windmills to draw water from wells. Over time, the district flourished, with affluent residents constructing elegant colonial summer residences where they enjoyed the waterfront and scenic views. Beautiful parks and open spaces were developed, adding to the charm of one of Lima's most romantic and historic areas.
In the early 20th century, Barranco evolved into a bohemian enclave with an influx of artists, poets, and musicians, a vibrant spirit that endures to this day.
Today, this unique neighborhood is adorned with historic homes, bohemian bars, art galleries, and local restaurants, offering visitors a vibrant connection to our living culture and tradition.

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?
The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.
Foreign Transaction Fees
A few banks have charged their customers an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, it his happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund as a gesture of good will.
