Ponte Eiffel is a striking wrought-iron bridge built in 1878, designed by Gustave Eiffel before his famous Parisian tower. It carries a single railway track across the Lima River, supported by elegant lattice arches. The bridge is a key transport link and a landmark of industrial heritage. Visitors can walk alongside the tracks on a pedestrian path, admiring the river views and the intricate ironwork. Its historical and engineering significance makes it a must-see for architecture enthusiasts.
