We will start our full-day Lima City Tour with a pickup from your hotel. Our first stop will be Huaca Pucllana, an ancient pre-Columbian site in the heart of the city. This impressive pyramid, built by the Lima culture, dates back to the 4th century AD. We will walk around the site and learn about the people who built it, their rituals, and way of life.

Next, we will head towards Lima Colonial, where we will visit Plaza de Armas, the main square of the city. The Palacio de Gobierno, Palacio Municipal, and Palacio Arzobispal surround this area, showcasing the grandeur of colonial Lima. We will explore the historical importance of these buildings and how they shaped the city’s development.

We will explore the “Basílica Convento San Francisco,” one of Lima’s most significant colonial religious sites. This site is famous for its stunning architecture and catacombs, which bury thousands of early Lima residents.

Our guide will share the fascinating history behind these catacombs, offering insight into the city’s religious past.

Afterward, we will head to the Museo del Banco Central de Reserva to admire Peru’s rich cultural heritage. The museum features exhibits on art, archaeology, and history, providing a deeper understanding of the nation’s past.
