Second Home Peru is a quiet home away from home at the end of a colorful cafe-lined dead-end street. My travel companion and I stayed in the home April 8-12, 2025. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Immediately upon our 6:30 am arrival, we received a warm welcome and felt comfortable. The home boasts beautiful cliffside ocean and garden views through several large windows, has comfortable furnishings, and serves hearty morning breakfasts consisting of flavorful eggs and bacon, Peruvian fruit (granadilla), fresh warm bread, strong coffee or tea, and juice. Doors are always propped open allowing for fresh ocean air and natural light to bathe the environment. The on-premise bar facilitated a perfect end-of-day ritual of Pisco Sours with fellow travelers on the back patio/lawn/deck while watching the sunset over the Pacific.
Room was 5 was very spacious with 2 queen beds, large bathroom, comfortable beds, and clean! No view to speak of however, many windows to open for fresh ocean air and natural light.
The location of Second Home is perfect for walking the Barranco District. Several fantastic and popular restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries are within a block or two of the home.
When needed, the staff arranged for taxi service. We pre-arranged and pre-paid for airport pick-up through Second Home. Finding Carlos at the airport was easy- making for a stress-free arrival.
We took the small-fee tour of Victor Delfin's on-site studio and had the privilege of meeting him He is 97 years old and still creating. His works represent his country's state of being (social, economic, cultural, political, etc..) throughout his 70+ years
of creating. He is a national figure. Take the tour and enjoy his pieces that are showcased throughout the B & B.
My travel companion and I are solo female travelers who are 55 and 69 years old. We felt very safe and took the usual travel precautions. We did not experience any safety issues walking around the District. The locals were very friendly and kind.
There were hugs all around when it was time for us to depart and relocate to Cusco. It felt like we were leaving family. If I ever return to Peru, I will always come back to Second Home!
