Kennedy Park by way of the Malecón
Being a cat person, my favorite place is Kennedy Park, which is full of sweet adoptable cats! Our favorite way to get there is along El Malecón, which is a scenic 6 mile path on top of the cliffs along the Pacific Ocean. There are also so many cool parks along the way.

Peace Bridge
This glass-floor pedestrian bridge was just opened in August 2025 (we got to see it under construction in Feb 2025!) & connects Barranco & Miraflores districts. It offers some great views & even has a park built for it (Parque Bicentario).
Kennedy Park
Also known as the :Central Park of Lima", this park is located in the center of Miraflores & covers approx 5.5 acres. It has beautiful paths & gardens, but is now best known for the CATS! It serves as a "shelter" for numerous adoptable cats - the cats are fed, petted, spoiled, spayed/neutered & even treated by a vetrinarian who visists the park regularly.
Cats of Parque de Kennedy
A few of my favorite felines! When I say these cats are spoiled, I mean it. The surrounding restaurants bring them food all during the day to supplement their dry kibble. The only treat they do not turn their noses up at are salmon "squeezies".
