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.

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.

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.

Very knowledgeable and kept things interesting and fun. Would recommend to anyone wanting to tour Lima and learn about different neighborhoods and areas.Posted on Bob CarasikVerified An inspiring look at real life in Peru We took a half day tour to Villa El Salvador with guide Silvana and driver Luis of Haku Tours. The community is a barrio on the southern edge of Lima. It was founded by squatters decades ago and had to organize for official recognition and services. We sampled some traditional healing beverages, and then met with Acensia Tuanama, who runs a community kitchen (“olla”) that was founded to provide food during the covid pandemic and still serves the community. Silvana has a wealth of local information to share as well.Posted on Janice JVerified Great introduction to Lima & Peru! Wonderful day with our guide Cesare, and fabulous driver Julio.
