HISTORIA:

Barranco was initially a small fishing community. It was officially incorporated in 1860, and became a district of Lima in 1874. It wasn’t long before the district became quite popular as a seaside summer resort area for upper class peruvian and foreigners alike. They began building large house in the European style, and Barranco’s tradition of upper class bohemia was born.

The district is considered to be the city's most romantic and bohemian, being the home and working place of many of Peru's leading artists, musicians, designers and photographers. In the 19th-century, it was a very fashionable beach resort for the peruvian aristocracy, and many people used to spend the summer here and in neighboring Chorrillos. Today, Barranco's beaches are among the most popular within the worldwide surfing community, and a marina completed in 2008 provides state-of-the-art services for its yacht club.
