Parque Malecón de Barranco

This guide to the Parque Malecón de Barranco in Lima follows the footbridge that gave the neighborhood its name, built by fishing families in 1876 from timber hauled from Guayaquil, and known as the Bridge of Sighs. It traces the bridge's destruction during the Chilean occupation of 1881 and its smaller rebuild, on the way to the span crossed today.
