I booked a 90 minute Thai massage with Brian and it was fantastic. He alleviated significant tension in my lower back and shoulders and made for a comfortable plane ride back home to the US. Even while being twisted around and stretched I managed to fall asleep. The price is very reasonable for the quality of the massage. I highly recommend!

If you love chocolate, or coffee, or chocolate AND coffee, don't miss a visit to El Cacaotal. Flavor bombs, a selection of wonderful flavorless and pairings, a PhD level of expertise, deep familiarity with their sources and a welcoming atmosphere makes this tiny shop like a visit to one of Harry Potter's Diagon Alley shops - maybe the wand-maker.

Reviewed By Susanorkide - Fredensborg, Denmark
I absolutely loved this bohemian district close to the ocean with a lot of street art, artists and artisans. Barranco has beautiful and old architecture. I was there, on my last day in Lima, January 1, so it was pretty crowded. Nevertheless, I enjoyed to walk around the neighbourhood, and it’s definitely worth a visit.
