Colonial and Modern Lima

Starting at 8:30 am, we will begin our experience with pickup from hotels located in San Isidro and later in Miraflores , two of Lima’s most elegant and contemporary districts.

Our first stop will be the iconic Parque del Amor , located in front of the majestic cliffs of the Miraflores boardwalk. From here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and admire the sculpture «El Beso,» a symbol of Lima’s romanticism and a meeting point for travelers and locals.

We’ll continue our tour to Huaca Pucllana , an ancient ceremonial and administrative center of the Lima culture (c. 500 AD). From outside, our guide will give you a detailed explanation of this impressive pre-Incan archaeological site, which is strikingly located in the middle of the modern city.

Afterwards, we’ll head to the historic heart of the capital: Downtown Lima, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Here, we’ll begin a guided walk to discover the most iconic monuments from the colonial era:

• The Lima Cathedral, a masterpiece of religious architecture.
• The Government Palace, presidential headquarters.
• The Municipal Palace and the Archbishopric, witnesses of colonial Lima.
• The Church and Convent of San Francisco, where we’ll take a guided tour of its famous catacombs, an underground system that holds remains and legends from the past.

To conclude this Peruvian-inspired experience, we’ll take part in a brief but fun demonstration class and tasting of pisco sour , our national drink, in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Around 12:00 pm, we will board our return transportation, arriving at the hotels at approximately 1:00 pm , with a new perspective on Lima: modern and ancient at the same time.
