'El Beso' - The Kiss, sculpture in El Parque del Amor, Miraflores, Lima.
In the Miraflores district of Lima, where many tourists pass through on their journeys there are some nice parks. This is a park that no romantic couple should miss.
It is not too far to walk from the centre of Miraflores, if you walk down Av. Larco and turn right when you come to the Larcomar leisure complex. Just follow the costal path and you will soon see it.
The park overlooks the Pacific Ocean from the cliffs.
The park was opened on Valentine’s Day in 1993. The sculpture at the centre is called ‘El Beso’ which means The Kisss, designed by the sculptor Victor Delfin. You will find the park a peaceful place to relax and many romantic couples go there to be together away from the busy city and to watch the sunsets over the Pacific.

The walls of the park are very curvy and covered in colourful mosaics, some of them have poetry about love and names of lovers. I have a special reason to always remember this place… It is where my husband proposed to me!
