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 humble neighborhood, we'll have the opportunity to get to know the local way of life as we explore its old streets and colonial houses.

We'll then go up to the Cerro San Cristóbal, an important pilgrimage destination 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 art nouveau buildings, and Jirón de la Unión, a street historically frequented by the Peruvian aristocracy. This area is significant as it is believed that Francisco Pizarro founded Lima here.

The tour will continue through the majestic Plaza de Armas, and then we'll visit the convents of Santo Domingo and San Francisco. After visiting both religious monuments, we'll take a break for lunch at a local restaurant.

To round off the tour, we'll learn how to prepare a delicious pisco sour, Lima's most typical drink. The tour will conclude with your return to the hotel in Lima at around 5 pm.
