Food, street artists & vendors

What to Do in Parque Kennedy A visit to Parque Kennedy is one of the top things to do in Miraflores. Experience any of the following attractions while there. Street Food Vendors Street food has been a large part of Lima’s culinary boom. Yet for visitors, it can be risky to try some of the street delicacies available in Lima. However, that is not the case for Parque Kennedy’s street food. The municipal administration and public health department certify all vendors and their products in the park. Although options are somewhat limited, you should feel free (and safe) to try the food sold in the park. Some tasty options include: Butifarras: turkey breast and ham sandwiches topped with fresh chopped onions and lime juice. Picarones: a traditional Peruvian dessert resembling a fried doughnut. Picarones are made with sweet potato flour and have honey drizzled on top for extra sweetness. Chicha morada: a refreshing juice made from purple corn and flavored with cloves, cinnamon, and sugar. Peruvian dessert, picarones, being fried in a pot of oil. Picarones. Photo by Ricardo Diaz on Wikimedia Commons. Miraflores Cat Park No one knows how it originally started, but Parque Kennedy has become a haven for stray cats. These days you can see dozens of friendly cats walking around the park, climbing on the trees, and otherwise sharing the space with locals and visitors. The municipality carries a detailed account of the cats in Parque Kennedy, including the population size and their sanitary conditions. More importantly, cat lovers founded an association, Gatos Parque Kennedy, to care for and defend the rights of these felines. Along with the municipality, the group provides sterilization for the cats living in the park. The association also feeds the cats daily and oversees the adoption process in case someone wants to take one home.

Surfing

Miraflores boasts two surfer-friendly beaches: Makaha beach and Waikiki beach (the latter named for the famous beach in Hawaii). Both beaches are said to be good for beginners. There are also a number of surfing schools located in the area with reasonable rates.

Historic & food

– Huaca Pucllana is the site of the only remaining pre-Inca ruins in Miraflores. The contrast between the ancient structures and the modern urban infrastructure surrounding them make Huaca Pucllana a particularly interesting place to behold. There is also an upscale restaurant serving traditional Peruvian food located at the foot of the pyramid. We recommend taking in this extraordinary view while having dinner at the restaurant followed by a tour of the grounds.
