Lima's historic centre, Miraflores cliffs and Barranco ravine are separate outings, not one compact walk. Start in the centre around Plaza Mayor, then plan another half-day for the coastal parks or Barranco. Public-space visits are free; food, transport, museums, rentals and guided activities are separate. Check local notices before travelling because events, works and coastal conditions can change access.
