Discover the two sides of Peru's capital with this Lima Contrasts Tour. You'll go from the most traditional neighborhood to the most affluent while you get to know its history and curiosities.

Lima Contrasts Tour

The tour begins at 9 am, with hotel pickup included from locations in Miraflores, Barranco, and San Isidro. We will start in the Rímac district, exploring its old streets and colonial houses to understand local life.

Next, we will visit Cerro San Cristóbal, a prominent hill standing over 300 meters tall, known for the Monumental Cross built in 1928. If visibility allows, views of San Lorenzo Island and the beaches of Chorrillos and La Punta can be appreciated.

Following this, we will head to the historical center of Lima, visiting key locations such as Plaza de San Martín with its art nouveau buildings, and Jirón de la Unión, significant for its connection to the conquistador Francisco Pizarro.

The tour continues at the Plaza de Armas, then to the convents of Santo Domingo and San Francisco. A lunch break at a local restaurant will follow.

To finish, you will learn to prepare a pisco sour, a typical drink of Lima. The tour concludes with hotel drop-off around 5 pm.
