Great walking tour in Barranco - We took this tour during our second day in Lima. Barranco is a nice district of Lima with amazing art galleries and the best restaurants of the city. Our guide Alejandro showed us nice spots and we even passed by Central, the restaurant number 1 of the world. We got a lot of information during this tour and definitely learned a lot not only about Barranco, but also about the history of Peru. I will highly recommend this tour to anyone.
