Discover Miraflores

Miraflores is a district where history and modern life coexist in harmony. Its origins date back to pre-Hispanic times, with the Lima culture leaving its mark in the impressive Huaca Pucllana, a ceremonial center built between the 4th and 8th centuries A.D.

During the colonial period, the area featured sprawling haciendas and roads connecting Lima to the coast. In the 19th century, Miraflores was the site of the Battle of Miraflores during the War of the Pacific (1881), a pivotal event commemorated in Reducto Park No. 2.

Over time, Miraflores evolved into a cultural and architectural hub. Urban development introduced Republican-era mansions, traditional townhouses, and modern buildings, all contrasting beautifully with its historical legacy. Landmarks like Kennedy Park, the Miraflores Boardwalk, and the urban mural circuit showcase the district’s vibrant and diverse identity.

Today, Miraflores is a symbol of progress and sustainability, where history and innovation come together. Walking its streets is like traveling through time, enjoying its rich heritage and dynamic modern life.
