Larcomar (Centro Comercial Larcomar)
The Basics
Built into the coastal cliffs of the tony Miraflores enclave with expansive views along the Costa Verde beaches, Larcomar’s sweeping curves were designed to mimic the surrounding rock formations. With open-air terraces for enjoying the view and having a bite to eat, shoppers can relax in between dips into upmarket designer boutiques and charming shops selling Peruvian handicrafts.
Travelers have many options to experience the Larcomar Shopping Center as part of a half- or full-day tour that may include a cycling adventure through Lima’s downtown, a nighttime walking tour of the upscale Miraflores neighborhood, or a private retail therapy session in Larcomar and the Miraflores Market.
Things to Know Before You Go
- Larcomar is suitable for solo travelers, couples, and families, but small kids may grow tired of the shopping.
