Tour Overview

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Lima’s modern districts and Historic Center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site brimming with architectural wonders.

Romantic Start

Begin at the enchanting "Parque del Amor" (Park of Love), inspired by Antoni Gaudi's Parc Guell. Marvel at Victor Delfín’s iconic sculpture of a couple locked in an eternal kiss and enjoy breathtaking views of Lima’s Bay, Barranco, and Chorrillos districts.

Modern Districts

Next, we’ll navigate through the contemporary districts of San Isidro and Miraflores, offering a panoramic view of the ancient Huaca Pucllana Pyramid amid modern architecture. As we traverse Arequipa Avenue, you’ll glimpse the city’s principal landmarks: a replica of the Government Palace, foreign embassies, the historic Park of the Exposition, the Lima Museum of Art, and significant monuments and squares like San Martín Plaza.

Historic Center

Entering the Historic Center via Jirón Conde de Superunda, you’ll travel a path laid by Francisco Pizarro in 1535. Admire the Colonial House of Osambela, notable for its grand façade and exquisite balconies.

Santo Domingo Convent

Explore the magnificent Basilica and Convent of Santo Domingo, home to the relics of St. Rose of Lima and St. Martín de Porres. Discover the oldest university in the Americas and a library housing 25,000 historic books. The church’s chorus features the oldest ashlar masonry in the country.

Main Plaza and Cathedral

Stroll through Lima’s Main Plaza, passing the Government and Municipal Palaces, to reach the Lima Cathedral, famous for its religious art and 14 chapels, including the tomb of Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro.

Optional Endings

Conclude your tour with a return to your hotel or choose to explore Jirón de la Unión, walking five blocks to Casa Tambo restaurant near San Martín Square. This vibrant walk offers a glimpse into local life with numerous popular stores and restaurants.

Join us for an extraordinary exploration of Lima, where history and modernity intertwine to create a captivating experience.

Note: On Sundays, the Lima Cathedral is closed for mass. The tour will instead visit the Convent of San Francisco and its eerie catacombs.
