Lima Contrasts Tour

To get to know a city in all its essence, there is nothing like immersing yourself in its neighborhoods and culture. We'll pick you up at 9 am at your hotel to begin this tour of contrasts in Lima.

We'll start our visit in the Rímac district. In this neighborhood, we'll have the opportunity to get to know the local way of life as we explore its streets and colonial houses.

We'll then go up to the Cerro San Cristóbal, with a height of over 300 meters. At the top stands the Monumental Cross, built in 1928. If the sky is clear, we'll be able to see San Lorenzo Island and the beaches of Chorrillos and La Punta.

Afterward, we'll move to the historical center of Lima. We'll visit Plaza de San Martín and its buildings, and Jirón de la Unión, a street once frequented by the Peruvian aristocracy, where Francisco Pizarro is said to have founded Lima.

The tour continues through the Plaza de Armas, the seat of the government, and we'll approach the convents of Santo Domingo and San Francisco. After visiting both, we'll take a break for lunch at a local restaurant.

To round off the tour, we'll learn to prepare a pisco sour, Lima's typical drink. The tour will end back at your hotel in Lima around 5 pm.
