Puente de los Suspiros

Cross Barranco's 1876 wooden bridge over the ravine, then follow the Bajada de Baños toward the coast.

What to expect

The Bridge of Sighs crosses the ravine in Barranco and links the historic streets around the Ermita with the route down to Bajada de Baños. The district municipality dates the wooden bridge to 14 February 1876; Peru Travel describes the public approach from Parque Municipal via Pasaje Chabuca Granda or from Avenida San Martín. The bridge and public approach are listed as free. This is a short landmark stop that pairs naturally with the park and nearby historic quarter.
