Hotel pick-up

Start the cultural tour with a warm welcome and first stories of Lima...

Our experience begins with pick-up from your hotel. From the first moment, our professional guide will welcome you and share the first historical data about Lima, its evolution and its role as the cultural capital of Peru. As we make our way through the city, we begin to immerse ourselves in a journey that crosses colonial times and ancient cultures.

Parque del Amor: romance by the sea

Views of the Pacific, sculptures and poetry that celebrate love in Miraflores...

Our first stop is at the Malecón de Miraflores, where the iconic Parque del Amor is located. This space celebrates romanticism with its emblematic sculpture "El Beso" and its walls decorated with poetic phrases. The views of the Pacific Ocean from this point are simply spectacular, especially when the sea breeze caresses the face and the sun dyes the sky golden. An ideal place to capture memorable images.

Huaca Pucllana: pre-Inca vestiges in the heart of the city

Walk between ancient platforms and connect with the Lima civilization...

We continue to the Huaca Pucllana, an adobe pyramid that stands between the modern buildings of Miraflores. This archaeological site connects us with the Lima civilization, prior to the Inca Empire. During the tour, you will learn about the ceremonial and administrative purpose of this structure and how it has survived the passage of centuries. Walking between its platforms is like traveling 1,500 years into the past.
