Our tour begins with pickup from your hotel or Airbnb in the districts of Miraflores, Barranco, or San Isidro, at the time that best suits you.
We start with a tour of the Miraflores Malecón, where you will walk along the cliffs with views of the Pacific Ocean. You will visit the iconic Love Park (Parque del Amor), with its famous sculpture and murals inspired by Lima’s romanticism.
We continue with a panoramic view of Huaca Pucllana, an adobe pyramid of the Lima culture. We do not enter the site, but observe it from an excellent viewpoint.
Then we move to the Historic Center to visit the San Francisco Convent and its Catacombs (entrance included), where you will learn about its colonial architecture and tour the underground passages that hold human remains from the viceregal era.
The experience continues at the Plaza de Armas (Main Square) of Lima, where you can appreciate the Cathedral, the Government Palace, and the Archbishop’s Palace (exterior visit).
At the end, you will have free time to explore the center, take photos, or shop. Then we will take you back to your accommodation.
NOTE: The service includes pickup and drop-off from hotels or Airbnbs located in Miraflores, Barranco, or San Isidro. For other areas, a meeting point or additional pickup can be arranged for an extra charge.
