Itinerary

Discover Lima in a Day Tour

We will begin our journey with pickup from your accommodation in Miraflores, San Isidro, or Barranco at 9:00 a.m., in a private tourist vehicle. Our first stop will be the Miraflores Malecón, with its views of the Pacific Ocean and cliffside gardens. We will walk through the Parque del Amor (Love Park), where you will find the “El Beso” sculpture and poetic murals that pay homage to Lima’s love. Then we will visit Larcomar, a unique shopping center built on the cliffs. Here you can explore shops and cafes with one of the best coastal panoramas in the city.

We will head to the bohemian district of Barranco. There you will have free time for lunch at a traditional restaurant (not included). Then we will tour the Bridge of Sighs (Puente de los Suspiros), the Municipal Park, and streets full of murals, urban art, and old mansions.

In the afternoon, we will visit the Historic Center of Lima: we will walk through the Plaza Mayor, admire the Cathedral, the Government Palace, and the Archbishop’s Palace (exterior visit). Then we will enter the Convent of San Francisco and its famous Catacombs (entrance included).

To close the day, we will go to the Parque de la Reserva where we will attend the Magic Water Circuit (Circuito Mágico del Agua), a nightly spectacle that combines dancing fountains, lights, music, and multimedia projections. At the end of the show, we will take you back to your hotel or Airbnb.

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.
