STAY…
Villa Barranco
Villa Barranco is a home-away-from home in the heart of the colourfully bohemian Barranco neighbourhood.
Georgie Loves: At the end of the day, unwind with a pisco sour, paired with views of the Costa Verde from the rooftop bar.
DRINK…
Bar at Hotel B
A blissful Barranco base with a popular lobby bar.
Georgie Loves: The G&Ts served in custom glasses.
EAT…
Clon
An unbelievably delicious and relaxed spot for lunch or supper, meant to be the clone of awarded Merito. Sit at the bar overlooking the kitchen.
Georgie Loves: The avocado ceviche is perfection, and I died and went to heaven for their scallops and sensational fish curry.
TOUR…
Coffee Tasting Enigma style
Visit the unassuming Ciclos Café with Enigma. Tucked away on a quiet street, it is home to Peru’s top barista, Antonio Venturo, and you learn directly from him while he works, surrounded by bags of fragrant fresh coffee beans.
Georgie Loves: Watching the master at work as he explains the detailed nuances that go into creating the perfect coffee. A delicious education.
SHOP…
Kuna
Beautifully crafted alpaca and vicuña knitwear; Peruvian textile heritage at its most refined.
Georgie Loves: The baby Alpaca scarves, suri textiles and the extraordinary vicuña garments.
VISIT…
Pedro de Osma Museum
Pedro de Osma Museum for a great introduction to Peruvian art. Displayed in a private home, this carefully curated collection reveals deep history and religious meaning in a unique setting.
Georgie Loves: The house and location, in charming Barranco, are gorgeous. I particularly loved the Angels and Archangels room, for its unique Peruvian take on Western European Christian iconography.
