Peru’s capital is a cosmopolitan city located on the Pacific coast. Immerse yourself in the Lima experience and embark on a journey through the rich history of the “City of Kings” in just one day.

Join us on this tour where we’ll explore the colonial city and its main historical monuments. We’ll discover Lima’s religious traditions and funeral customs during the Peruvian Viceroyalty.

We will then explore the city’s modern and tourist districts. We will visit the bohemian district of Barranco and its colourful murals; stroll along the Miraflores seafront promenade with views of the ocean; and explore El Olivar Park in San Isidro, a natural space steeped in history and charm.

Itinerary

  • Hotel Pick-up / Meeting Point:
    The tour begins with the pick-up of passengers from hotels.
  • San Martín Square:
    Our first stop will be at San Martín Square, considered the second most important square in Downtown Lima. It was inaugurated in 1921 to commemorate the centenary of the Independence of Peru (1821).
  • Main Square or Plaza de Armas:
    Considered the heart of the city, it is the place where Lima was founded and where, centuries later, the country’s independence was proclaimed.
  • It is surrounded by emblematic historical monuments such as the Cathedral of Lima, the Government Palace, the Municipal Palace, and the Archbishop’s Palace, which reflect the political, religious, and architectural legacy of the capital.
  • San Francisco Convent and the Catacombs of Lima
    San Francisco is a jewel of Peruvian viceregal art. It was an important religious and academic training center built by the Franciscans in the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. The Franciscans played a key role in the Spanish conquest, and their evangelizing work is now part of the masterpieces preserved in the museum.
