Discover the essence of Peru’s capital through a tour designed to showcase the city’s evolution across its three key periods. This historical tour of Lima allows you to explore the cultural and architectural richness of one of South America’s most fascinating capitals, bridging its ancient past with the modern present.
The experience begins with Ancient Lima, where you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of the imposing “Huaca Pucllana.” This magnificent ceremonial and archaeological site, built in the 4th century AD, is a living testament to pre-Columbian engineering and was considered a “sacred town” by the Incas. Next, we’ll venture into Colonial Lima to explore the Historic Center of Lima, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In this area, we’ll take a 1.5-hour walking tour where you’ll be able to admire more than fifty monuments, buildings, and historic attractions, including iconic sites such as the Paseo de la República, Plaza San Martín, and Plaza Mayor. Finally, the tour concludes in Contemporary Lima with a visit to the city’s most exclusive and modern residential areas, located in the districts of San Isidro and Miraflores.
