LIMA CITY TOUR

• After picking you up directly from the Callao Port, we will whisk you away for a fascinating walking tour of Lima’s Historical Center.

As you explore the city, you’ll see some of Lima’s most iconic landmarks, including the majestic Gran Hotel Bolívar and its story-filled surroundings, as well as Plaza San Martín, one of the capital’s most emblematic and lively squares.

• We will continue our walk along Jirón de la Unión, one of the main streets of the historic center, where each building has its own story to tell. We will walk to the Plaza Mayor, the heart of Lima, where you will be able to observe the imposing Government Palace, the Archbishop’s Palace, the majestic Lima Cathedral, and other buildings that have played a crucial role in Peru’s politics and history.

• The historic center of Lima has been considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991, thanks to its impressive colonial buildings, which allow visitors to relive the city’s colonial era.
• Lima also stands out for being one of the oldest capitals in South America, and as such, it was the most important center for the Spanish Viceroyalty in the entire continent. Throughout this tour, we will explore some palaces that still hold secrets from that time.

• In addition, we cannot fail to include in the tour the House of Peruvian Literature, a historic building that was once a train station and now houses a space dedicated to Peruvian literary culture. From the outside, you can appreciate its elegant architecture and learn a little more about the writers and poets who have left their mark on Peruvian literature.
