Miraflores is the wealthy heart of Lima, but don't let the glossy storefronts fool you - this upscale enclave has its share of headaches. With a population of 99,337 and a density of over 10,000 per square kilometer, the bureaucracy here can be a persistent challenge. The climate, while mild, is also often overcast, with frequent drizzles during the winter months. Still, for those who can afford the high cost of living, Miraflores offers an unparalleled quality of life, with world-class shopping, dining, and cultural attractions on the doorstep.
