The Pacific wind meets the city here — you step onto the Malecón with ocean spray on your face and a parade of color and street art unfolding toward Barranco's cliffs. The walk threads through Miraflores' manicured waterfront, past the heart-shaped tiles of Love Park, then drops into Barranco's narrow streets where colonial houses, murals and cafés crowd the edges of a bohemian neighborhood.
