4 Zen Activities You Can Do In Lima City

Do you need a Zen Boost in Lima? This is our list of calming activities in the city

1.- A walk by the ocean

Is not a surprise that a walk by the sea is energetic, we have a long seashore in the city and most of it has really great beaches for some relaxation. Some people prefer to have a much deeper connection with the sea, for those surfing is a great choice, great for body, mind, and spirit. Is your first time here? We recommend you to bring comfortable sandals that you can use to get into the beach, the little rocks can be a bit uncomfortable if you are walking barefooted. Beaches with a great view: Pescadores, Makaha and Waikiki, surfing schools rent surfboards and wetsuit right on the beach every day.

2.- A walk of art

Barranco district has become THE place in terms of entertainment, food, and art, about the latter it is pretty much everywhere: statues, sculptures, architecture, and my favorite of all graffiti. Come for a walk to connect with your artistic – sensitive side, you may be surprised by our city. We recommend you to spend time around the Bridge of Sighs (Puente de los Suspiros) in Barranco.
