Puente de los Suspiros Bridge, Barranco

The Suspiros bridge is a famous wooden bridge that crosses the Bajada de los BaƱos to the delight of visitors.

This old bridge has been a source of inspiration for Peruvian musicians such as Chabuca Granda who wrote a song that bears the name of the bridge and later made him world-famous.

The Peruvians have a saying, “The barranquinos know from very old tradition that the founder of Barranco was nothing less than God”
