Itinerary

Full Day:Lima City

Our Lima city tour will begin in your hotel. Our service includes a pickup from your accommodations in the morning. This city tour in Lima will visit the 3 historical facets of the city: The Ancestral Lima, the colonial Lima and the modern Lima. 

Our Lima city tour will take us to the Archeological site of Pucllana. Here we’ll have a panoramic view of an Inca Pyramid. Pucllana was a ceremonial site.

Possibly the archaeological site dates back from the IV century. Be respectful. This was a sacred place for the Incas.

With that, we checked the ancestral part of our journey. To continue our Lima City tour we’ll travel in our bus to the city center. Better said, the historical city center. Our city tour in Lima is entering its colonial and modern era.

We will explore the colonial square distribution of Lima on its beginnings. Our Lima city tour includes near 50 monuments and colonial buildings. Among the most remarkable we have: 

  • Paseo de la República: An emblematic street. And one of the most ambitious projects in modern history.
  • La Plaza San Martin: An iconic square with a monument to San Matín the independence hero. And important in recent historical events.
  • La Plaza Mayor: Also called the Main square or the Plaza de Armas. It is the central place of the city and around it you’ll find many historical buildings and the cathedral.
  • El palacio de Gobierno: A colonial building that serves as the main quarters of the Peruvian government.
  • El Palacio Municipal: Another colonial building serving as a civic institution.
  • El Palacio Arzobispal: The building that houses the central administration of the catholic church in Peru.
  • La Catedral: A beautiful building and the mayor church in Peru.

Further from all of these sittings. Our City tour in Lima will take us to explore in depth the Convent of San Francisco de Asis. Here we’ll have an encounter with its famed collection. This is the biggest collection of religious colonial art in the continent.

After this, we’ll start the exploration of the crips under the convent. These catacombs extend under the main structure. With these we’ll end up on a high note of our historical explorations. But the City Tour in Lima is not over.

At that time, we’ll explore the more current Lima. We’ll have an exploration of the more iconic districts in the city. Including the trendy district of Miraflores. 

The Larcomar boulevard. And the Parque del Amor, one of the best outdoor parks in the city. Pay attention on this part to plan for further exploration on your own, later. This will be all for our tour.
