What you can expect

  • Visit the City of Kings and discover the fascinating blend of its colonial and republican architecture, set within the Historic Center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This sightseeing tour offers you a complete experience, where you'll enjoy views from a 360° panoramic bus and also stroll through the most iconic areas of the old city center. Throughout the tour, you'll learn about the contrasts between modern Lima and colonial Lima as you immerse yourself in its history, culture, and evolution.

    The tour is divided into two parts. First, from the panoramic bus, you'll explore the districts of Miraflores, with the ancient Huaca Pucllana and its boardwalk overlooking the ocean; San Isidro, with its elegant financial district and the historic El Olivar Forest; and on the way to the historic center, you'll discover the famous Parque de la Reserva, home to the spectacular Magic Water Circuit, recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest fountain complex in the world in a public park. A perfect place to enjoy the modern and artistic side of the city and part of the Historic Center, where you'll see monuments such as Plaza San Martin and colonial mansions that reflect the Lima of yesteryear.

    The sightseeing tour then continues on foot from Plaza Mayor, where you will stroll through streets steeped in history, surrounded by buildings such as the Government Palace, the Archbishop's Palace, the Cathedral, and Lima City Hall. This guided walk will allow you to experience the city's viceregal legacy up close, admiring wooden balconies, Baroque façades, and bustling plazas.

    The tour ends with a visit to the Basilica and Convent of San Francisco, one of the most important religious complexes in Lima. Here you'll descend into its famous catacombs, an underground network of passageways and vaults built in stone, where human remains from the colonial period are preserved. A unique experience, full of history, mystery, and symbolism.

    This panoramic sightseeing tour on foot lets you explore Lima from different perspectives: its pre-Hispanic past, its colonial splendor, and its vibrant present. At the end, you'll return to your starting point with a deeper understanding of the city. Don't miss this chance to discover one of Latin America's most historic and captivating capitals!
