A bohemian night with a local artist!
Legend said that Barranco is Lima's most artistic, magical, and bohemian neighborhood. And it has all the elements for that, a whimsical story behind its foundation, lots of celebrated artists who found inspiration in their streets, theaters, carnivals, and the perfect view of the south pacific sunset. As a true born and raised artist, I can say that's true. So, during our night together I would show you one side of Barranco's vibe, the nightlife, but not just any nightlife, no, we would explore the nightlife from the perspective of the many artists who found a place in which we can be our most authentic selves. We will visit three different bars, which will allow us to discover the different facets that we can find in Barranco. First, we would meet on the Plaza Central of Barranco, and from there we would visit our first bar, which is my favorite, not only it's the oldest of them all, but also has been the bar of choice for many generations of artists, here we would share a drink and start to get to know each other. Next, we would go to a colorful hidden bar, the newest of all of them, but a wonderful selection of craft beer, and cool decorations, perfect for pictures. Finally, we would end our night with friends, our last bar is not only cool but has a wide variety of signature cocktails, delicious food, and the best people to hang out with. So, are you ready?
