Our team will pick you up directly from your hotel to begin an unforgettable journey through the history, culture, and colonial charm of Lima, known as the City of Kings.

Our first stop will be the beautiful Love Park (Parque del Amor), where you will enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the coastline of Miraflores — a perfect place for photos.

We will then continue with a panoramic visit to Huaca Pucllana, an impressive pre-Inca ceremonial and archaeological site located in the heart of the modern city. Our guide will provide an informative explanation from the outside about the importance and history of this ancient adobe pyramid.

Afterward, we will head to Lima’s Historic Center, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we will begin a pleasant walking tour through the most emblematic colonial streets and plazas of the capital.

During the visit, we will admire:

  • The impressive Basilica Cathedral of Lima
  • The Government Palace
  • The Municipal Palace
  • The elegant Archbishop’s Palace
  • The famous Church and Convent of San Francisco

Inside the Convent of San Francisco, we will explore its fascinating underground crypts, better known as the Catacombs, one of Lima’s most iconic historical attractions.

To end this cultural experience, we will enjoy a fun Pisco Sour tasting and demonstration class, where you will learn about Peru’s national drink and its traditional preparation.
