Tarata Street (Spanish; Castilian: Calle Tarata), known also as the Solidarity Promenade (Spanish; Castilian: Paseo de la Solidaridad),[1] [2] is a pedestrian street in Miraflores, Lima, Peru. It runs from west to east for 2 blocks, and is located next to José Larco Avenue.
On July 16, 1992, the street was the location of a terrorist attack carried out by terrorist group Sendero Luminoso.[3] The attack originally targeted the bank in the street's intersection with Larco Avenue, but ended up taking place in the middle of the street, where a memorial is now located. At the time of the attack, the street was open to transit, but was later changed to a pedestrian-only street.[4]
The street is the location of residential buildings El Condado, San Pedro, Tarata, Residencial Central and San Carlos. As a result of the 1992 attack, said buildings were damaged to varying degrees. The street also intersects with the Berlín passage and Schell street.[4] The street is located one block away from the Municipality of Miraflores and its adjacent park.
