Experience a fascinating city tour of Lima, getting to know Miraflores and the Historic Center. Visit the Love Park, admire the Huaca Pucllana and Plaza San Martín, and explore the Convent and Catacombs of San Francisco on a tour that combines pre-Hispanic history, colonial legacy and emblematic views of the city.

Between 9:15 am and 9:30 am, we will pick you up at your hotel to begin your tour of Lima. Our first visit will be the Love Park, located on the Malecón Cisneros, in Miraflores, next to the Villena Bridge. There, we will see the emblematic sculpture “The Kiss”, work by artist Víctor Delfín, and the colorful mosaic walls inspired by Gaudí's Park Güell, decorated with phrases and poems in Spanish and Quechua. We will continue with a panoramic view of Huaca Pucllana, an important pre-Inca ceremonial center inhabited for more than 300 years and later conquered by the Wari culture. At around 10 am, we will take a panoramic visit to Plaza San Martín, whose central monument pays homage to the liberator of Peru and was designed by Mariano Benlliure. In front of the square, we will see the historic Gran Hotel Bolívar. At 11:00 am, we will enter the Convent and Catacombs of San Francisco, one of the largest collections of colonial religious art in America. We will visit the Choir Room, the Library, the Sacristy and the underground crypts. At around 2:00 pm, we will return to our hotels in Miraflores.
