1 DayReady to explore Lima’s awesome history and super vibrant present? With Machu Picchu Peru Travel‘s City Tour, we’ll show you the city’s ancestral, colonial, and modern sides—all in one go. In a nutshell, it’s gonna be epic!
First things first, we’ll hit the road through modern Lima. We’ll hang out in the iconic and swanky Miraflores district—seriously cool! We’ll be able to walk along these beautiful streets and chill out at the Parque del Amor along the coast. Are you ready to go shopping? Because the Larcomar shopping center is right there with stunning ocean views and tons of photo ops. Don’t get cold feet now!
Next, get a grip as we get a panoramic view of Huaca Pucllana, an ancient ceremonial site dating back to the 4th century. It’s an Inca archaeological site treasured by the Incas. Don’t hold back—learn something about Andean culture! Maybe you’ll get the hang of it.
Then, we’ll visit the Central Reserve Bank Museum, home to a remarkable collection of pre-Columbian artifacts. You’ll find precious ceramics, gold artifacts, and textiles representing Peru’s diverse cultures. Improvise some uplifting experiences! Will you be amazed? Or maybe not—you’ll have to find out.
A highlight of the colonial experience is the San Francisco Monastery, famous for its religious art and the eerie underground catacombs. It’s kinda spooky but in a good way—it might just help you blow off some steam!
Finally, we’ll wrap it up at Lima’s Historic Center, where over fifty colonial monuments await. Highlights include the Plaza Mayor, Plaza San Martín, and grand buildings like the Government Palace, Municipal Palace, and the majestic Cathedral Basilica. Plan your visit to this stunning tourist spot!
Oh, and hold your horses! If you’ve got time, you should also check out El Qosqo o Cusco Imperial. It’s seriously amazing.
With convenient pick-up in Miraflores, a professional guide, and all entrance fees covered, this tour is a piece of cake and offers a comprehensive look into Lima’s fascinating evolution from past to present.
