Overview
Available languages
2 hours
Mobile ticket
Wander through Lima’s most iconic bohemian, romantic, and hipster neighborhood, led by a passionate storyteller and licensed tour guide with our counter-cultural style by Inka Pride.
This is a slow-motion immersive experience through what is often swept under the rug. We'll go beyond the postcard-perfect façades to uncover hidden truths behind it's murals, writers, poets, and legends - all from a raw and critical perspective.
This is not just an instagrammable tour - it’s about seeing what the filters left out, and uncovering the soul of a district that hosts the world yet risks forgetting itself. Barranco is a place of beauty, memory, contradiction, and urban resistance.
Join us - and hear what no mural dares to express.
We don't visit touristic shops. At the end of the tour, we can optionally go for a great local coffee or beer, or peruvian pisco sour.

5.00We had an incredible tour through Barranco with Bruce! He gave us fascinating insights into the history and hidden stories of the neighborhood, things we would have completely missed on our own. His passion and knowledge brought the area to life in a unique way, and even included a surprise musical performance that made the experience truly unforgettable. Rarely have we met such a dedicated and engaging guide. Highly recommended!

5.00We loved our Barranco Street tour with Hulk ( Bruce)! Hulk was super friendly, knowledgeable and great fun! Hulk’s English is excellent, and he knew the story about the area and street art really well, so we got to really understand the stories behind the street art and buildings around Barranco. How was also generous in giving us tips of good places to eat and other places to see around Lima. We ended up doing a second tour with him because he was so knowledgeable and so much fun! 😊
