Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. The adventure begins the moment we pick you up from your accommodation. We’ll navigate local roads and vibrant avenues that showcase the true colors and energy of Lima. You’ll experience the city's lively atmosphere firsthand—passing street vendors and bustling crowds—as you feel the "embrace" of this metropolis of 12 million people. As we head toward Pachacamac, we’ll join the Pan-American Highway, the world's longest international route. Along the way, the sight of colorful shantytowns and unique local architecture offers an authentic perspective on the real Lima, making this journey as much a learning experience as an adventure.

2. Step back in time to visit the most important sacred sanctuary on the central coast of South America. Admire the site's colossal scale and take in the panoramic views of ancient pyramids, the fresh breeze of the Pacific Ocean, and the lush green valley below. Located just 31 km southeast of Lima (about a one-hour drive), the Pachacamac Archaeological Complex is an impressive pre-Columbian citadel featuring intricate adobe and stone palaces and towering pyramidal temples. We highly recommend visiting Pachacamac as your introduction to Andean culture before heading to Cusco and Machu Picchu. By exploring this coastal power center first, you will gain a much deeper understanding of how Inca traditions and architecture evolved!

About Lima

Lima, Peru's capital on clifftops above the Pacific, is a city of colonial plazas, pre-Inca ruins and an exciting, celebrated food scene.

The historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, revolves around the Plaza Mayor, with the cathedral, the Government Palace and the Archbishop's Palace with its carved wooden balconies. The Monastery of San Francisco hides catacombs beneath its yellow church, and the colonial mansions around it recall the riches of the viceroyalty.

Top-ranked sights in Lima: Miraflores, Lima Plaza Mayor, Church and Convent of Saint Francis (Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco).
