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 a 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 and 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.
