Miraflores is a well-known area in Lima, mainly for the surf beaches as well as a pleasant neighbourhood and for hostel accommodations (as compared to staying in the downtown area).
As usual, this is a rather big suburb area, and I was again pleasantly surprised at the huge landscaped area, as I spent about an hour just walking along the coastal route of Miraflores, located about 30 metres above the beach.
While doing so, I kept wondering “Am I really in Lima”? It felt like I was in some other western countries like New Zealand or Europe as it was really modern and clean and well-landscaped!
There were also a number of paragliders dotting the skyline of Miraflores coastal area, with a specific allocated take off zone for the paragliders. Seeing the paragliders in the air, made me miss the time I did paragliding in New Zealand. The paragliding in Miraflores is not cheap though…Sol 150 (approximately S$70) just for 10 minutes!
At one end of the coastal route, there is also a shopping mall, but I personally found the mall not very interesting.
