Itinerario

1. Our first stop will be to the largest fish market in Lima. If you want to walk among the locals, this is a great place to do so! See the local fishermen mending their nets and restoring their little boats, hear their stories and experience a bit of the sea. A great opportunity to feed the pelicans in the Chorrillos Bay is also available for those with children or who would enjoy interacting with wildlife.

   30 min

2. Sitting at roughly 251 meters above sea level, you will get a wonderful view of the Pacific Coastline, Chorrillos Bay and the Shanty towns below. As we descend the Morro we will check to see if the famous "Fraile" is out. If so we will watch this monk jump from the immense seaside cliffs into the crashing waves below. Often overlooked on other tours, this can be the highlight of ours!

   45 min

3. Head South down the Pan-American highway toward Lima's largest pre-Colombian archaeological site, the Ruins at Pachacamac. The complex, which extends for over 500 hectares, was once a very significant ceremonial site for the late Incan Empire. As you tour with a local guide you will have the opportunity to stretch out your legs a bit with a 20–30-minute hike up to the Temple of the Sun; allowing for some breath-taking views of the Lurín Valley and Pacific Ocean below (for those who prefer a tour with minimal walking you can admire the view of the temple from our private transportation.)

4. Barranco, known for its bohemian culture and festivities, is a great little place for a walking tour. Filled with street vendors, musicians and performers, you will note a different atmosphere from that of other districts we have visited throughout the day. Of special note will be the bright and colorful works of graffiti art you will see as you stroll along. We’ll see if you can “pass the test” as we cross the Bridge of Sighs and then take in the fantastic views of the Pacific with its beach life below. If you enjoy quaint handcraft shops, this is also the place to do a bit of shopping. Let your guide know at the beginning of the tour and we will arrange for some time to treasure hunt in this trendy neighborhood.

   1,3 h

5. If you are up for it, we will even take you to try the best artisan ice creams around. The selection set before you will be difficult, traditional gelato as well as local fruits that have been incorporated into delicious sorbet flavors will be among the many options to choose from… but don’t worry, sample requests are welcome!

About Lima

Lima, capitale del Perù sulle scogliere sopra il Pacifico, unisce piazze coloniali, rovine preinca e una celebrata e vivace scena gastronomica.

Il centro storico, Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO, ruota attorno alla Plaza Mayor, con la cattedrale, il Palazzo del Governo e il Palazzo dell'Arcivescovo dai balconi di legno intagliato. Il Monastero di San Francisco nasconde catacombe sotto la sua chiesa gialla, e le dimore coloniali che lo circondano ricordano le ricchezze del vicereame.

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