Barranco:
In the mid-1900s, the stream that ran below the bridge was converted into a stone pathway leading from the Puente de los Suspiros(The Bridge of Sighs) to the beaches at the foot of the coastal cliffs. This descending pathway, known as the Bajada de los Baños, was used by fisherman on their daily descent to the sea.
But the fishermen were not the only people drawn on a regular basis to the bridge and its immediate surroundings. It also became a point of artistic and philosophical contemplation for some notable local figures, including acclaimed Peruvian writers and poets such as José María Eguren, Martín Adán and Julio Ramón Ribeyro.
And where poets be, there be lovers too, as someone probably said once. Yep, if you wanted to woo a woman or court a fine young gentleman, the Puente de los Suspiros was the place to get lucky. Such was the extent of all this wooing that the bridge became known as a place of amorous sighing, hence the name: the Bridge of Sighs.
Then along came Peruvian singer and composer Chabuca Granda and her Barranco bridge-inspired song “El Puente de los Suspiros,” written in 1960. Once immortalized in verse by the queen of música criolla, the bridge became Barranco’s most iconic symbol of art and love and poetry.
The old fishermen, meanwhile, must have been baffled by the sudden appearance of flocks of lovestruck young poets at the start of their traditional descent to the sea (at which point they probably thought “to hell with this!” and found a different way down to the ocean).
Hold your breath… it’s the Bridge of Sighs - If you’re able to walk across the bridge while holding your breath, your wish will come true.

Situated on a quiet Miraflores side street, and featuring a wood-burning oven and a cozy lounge where locals linger over cocktails late into the evening, this understated eatery serves up comfort food, Gastón Acurio–style. Nearly everything on the menu is good, but standouts include the anticuchos (kebab-like skewers, usually of beef hearts, but here also with more imaginative options such as swordfish) and cochinilla de 21 días, a whole suckling pig with meat so juicy you won’t need the accompanying zarza criolla (pickled onions) Go late at night, when the mood is mellow and romantic.
