Your Travel Experience with South American Tours DMC
Barranco is considered the capital’s bohemian district where many renowned artists, musicians, photographers, and designers live and work. Its charming colonial architecture, flowery parks, and inspiring vibe give it a romantic air. End your tour at the Bridge of Sighs, an ancient yet solid bridge that has inspired poets and songwriters like Chabuca Granda.
The Bridge of Sighs, or “Puente de los Suspiros” is a tryst for lovers. According to the legend, a wealthy man lived in one of the mansions by the bridge. The day his daughter fell in love with a poor street sweeper, he forbade their marriage. With a broken heart, she would wait by her window for her beloved and those crossing the bridge would hear her wistful sighs. Don’t forget to make a wish, hold your breath, and walk across the bridge: if you make it to the other side, your wish will come true!
