What to expect

Explore Lima's old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, packed with fascinating historic buildings. The tour begins at the traditional Pueblo Libre district, where you visit the Larco Museum, located in a beautifully restored viceregal mansion built on a pre-Columbian pyramid from the seventh century. The museum is considered one of the best in the world. Admire a complete pre-Hispanic collection of gold and silver objects, as well as pieces of erotic art. Then visit the Casa Aliaga, a colonial mansion granted by chief conquistador Francisco Pizarro to one of his captains, Jerónimo de Aliaga. This is the only house from that time, still belonging to the same family. Continue with a scenic tour through the colonial downtown. See the Main Square, where you can appreciate the architecture of the Spanish Empire. Admire Lima's Cathedral, built during the 16th century. At the end of the tour, you will return to your hotel.
