About Larcomar
Larcomar sits at the intersection of José Larco Avenue and the Malecón de la Reserva, right on the edge of Miraflores where the city meets the coastal cliffs. Its setting in Alfredo Salazar Park makes it an easy stop when walking the seafront paths.
It is owned by the Chilean company Parque Arauco and is a popular venue with both international visitors and Lima locals. The atmosphere is modern and outward-facing, with much of its appeal tied to its position on one of the city’s best-known promenades rather than just indoor shopping.
Because it is in Miraflores, it pairs well with a day in the district, combining a stroll along the Malecón with a practical place to eat or shop in one stop.
