Two giants kiss

"The Kiss" went from being a small bronze sculpture cast 70 by 30 centimetres, to a colossal replica of cement, clay and red pigment measuring 8.02 metres wide by 7.31 metres high. Victor Delfin was inspired by the couples he saw on the Costa Verde, drew them and then modelled them in clay. Finally, he had the work he liked best cast in bronze and placed it in his office.

"Strolling through the Park of Love".

Delfín and Andrade strolled along the cliffs and thus arrived at Pasear por el Love Park an area where there was a sculpture by the artist César Campos, which in Delfín's words looked abandoned and in the middle of rubbish. At that moment, they discovered a couple who, on seeing the retinue, became frightened and tried to escape.

Names and verses

The park's design is inspired by Barcelona's Park Güell, the famous work of the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. The surroundings are decorated with verses by Peruvian poets, among them Pablo Guevara, Martín Adán, César Moro, and Emilio Adolfo Westphalen; but you can also read the names of historical couples.

A world-famous kiss

In 2017, National Geographic included Parque del Amor in its list of the 50 most romantic destinations in the world. The publication highlighted among its attractions the possibility of appreciating the sunset with a privileged view of the ocean Strolling through the Parque del Amor Pacifico, as well as its emblematic sculpture.
