The coastal district of Miraflores is part of which South American capital? Lima.
Miraflores is a coastal district of Lima, Peru, located south of the city’s historic downtown along the Pacific Ocean. It is known for ocean-facing cliffs, parks, hotels, restaurants and shopping, making it one of Lima’s most recognizable tourist and residential areas.
The district was formally established on January 2, 1857. Its modern name is linked to the Miraflores Charterhouse, while the area’s deeper history reaches back to ancient Lima culture. Huaca Pucllana, a large pre-Inca adobe ceremonial site, remains one of the district’s most important archaeological landmarks.
Miraflores also has a major place in Peruvian history. The Battle of Miraflores took place there in January 1881 during the War of the Pacific, when Chilean forces defeated Peruvian defenders before the occupation of Lima. The district is sometimes confused with San Juan de Miraflores, a separate district farther south. The coastal Miraflores in this question is the well-known district bordering the Pacific and Barranco.
