One unexpected surprise in Miraflores was the Parque del Amor, a park on the cliffs overlooking the ocean devoted to romance. The poet Antonio Cilloniz had lamented that "In the cities, they do not build monuments to lovers", a reaction, no doubt, to all the monuments in South America (and everywhere else) devoted to those who had distinguished themselves in battle by either winning or dying.

Currently, Lima, as any other metropolis in the world, offers the tourist great attractions and the comfort a traveller seeks. Its 500 years of life has left important remains from its rich history.
