Lima City Tour + Museum of Archaeology

Modern Lima

We will begin our tour visiting the modern suburbs of San Isidro and Miraflores where we will see the Financial Center, the San Isidro Golf Course and the Olive Grove Park. We will also go by the Huaca Pucllana, a pre-inca pyramid shape temple that has survived the expansion of modern civilization. We will stop at Parque del Amor (Love Park) and enjoy a nice view of the Pacific Ocean, as we drive down the Miraflores Malecon, a road along the cliffs overlooking the ocean.

Colonial Lima

We will visit downtown Lima`s historical center, designated by Unesco as Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 1991. In this journey we will enjoy what once was the center of the 16th century Spanish colony. We will see the Plaza Mayor, the Presidential Palace, the Cathedral, the Archbishop`s Palace, the City Hall and the Desamparados Train Station. We will also see Plaza San Martin, a large park surrounded by old colonial buildings still displaying beautiful carved wood balconies and other landmarks.

San Francisco Convent and Catacombs

We shall visit the San Francisco Convent and its famous underground crypts known as the Catacombs.

Museum of Archaeology

We will then head towards the district of Pueblo Libre and visit the National Museum of Archaeology, Antropology and History, the oldest public museum in Peru.

At the end of the tour you will have a choice to either shop at the Indian Market, Larcomar Mall or return to your hotel.
