The Shanty Town Tour (From Callao Port)

• • At Haku Tours, we warmly invite you to explore the real Lima, a city that blends rich history with vibrant, everyday life. Start your journey by taking a walk up the iconic yellow stairs, leading you to the hilltops where you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the city’s vast landscape. Lima’s sheer size and stunning vistas will surely  leave an impression on any visitor, offering a perspective of the city that few get to experience.
    
  • But this tour is much more than just sightseeing. It’s an opportunity to truly connect with the local community, to meet the people who call Lima home and learn about their culture, traditions, beliefs, and personal stories. Expect to be greeted with warm hospitality and genuine smiles—the locals here love meeting visitors and sharing their way of life.
  • As you walk through the neighborhoods, you’ll have the chance to meet smiling children, hardworking families, and individuals who are leaving their mark in the city. During the tour, we will also visit a local daycare center, where you’ll interact with the friendly families and learn about the important role these institutions play in the community.
  • Our expert guide will provide in-depth knowledge about the community’s history, its ongoing urbanization projects, and the various social and political challenges it faces. You’ll gain a unique understanding of the area’s religious practices, its values, and how Haku Tours contributes to the region’s development and growth.
  • Come with us and be part of this enriching cultural experience—one that will leave you with lasting memories and a deeper connection to the heart of Lima.
