• Callao - Arrival at the Port of Callao
  The tour begins by collecting each traveler from El Puerto del Callao.

Welcome to Peru! Disembark at the historic Port of Callao and take a moment to explore this iconic seaport. Pick-up is available for travelers at the meeting point:

• El Parque del Amor - Visit the Parque del Amor located in the renowned Miraflores neighborhood, one of the top attractions in Lima. Opened on Valentine’s Day in 1993 to honor lovers, it’s the perfect spot to stroll and relax on benches adorned with colorful mosaics reminiscent of Park Güell in Barcelona, while reading various poetic phrases dedicated to love. The park also features the famous sculpture “The Kiss” by Peruvian sculptor Víctor Delfín, and a heart-shaped flower garden.
• Huaca Pucllana - The Huaca Pucllana is an ancient archaeological site in Lima, Peru. Its panoramic view offers a stunning sight of a pre-Inca pyramidal structure that stands out amidst the modern city. Discover Lima’s ancestral history as you admire the majesty of Huaca Pucllana from the outside and appreciate the unique blend of pre-Columbian culture and contemporary life. Visit this fascinating archaeological site and delve into Peru’s past!
• Plaza San Martin - Continuing our adventure, we arrive at PLAZA SAN MARTIN. Here, you will be surrounded by historical buildings such as the Teatro Colón, the Giacoletti building, and the Gran Hotel Bolívar, with a statue in honor of General San Martín, a key figure in Peru’s independence, at the center of the square.
• Jiron de La Union - The Jirón de la Unión has long been the main thoroughfare in Lima’s Historic Center. It is rich in history, color, and vibrant commercial activity. Join us as we explore the best of its eleven blocks.

Starting from PLAZA SAN MARTIN, we begin to “jirone” alongside the Government Palace, which occupies an entire block until reaching the Plaza Mayor. The Municipal Palace and the renowned Club de la Unión are located along this route. A few more steps and we encounter perhaps the most significant example of Art Nouveau (a French artistic movement) in Lima: the photographic studio of the Courret brothers. On block 5 is the O’Higgins House, currently maintained by the PUCP and transformed into an exhibition hall; and just a few meters away, enjoy the new pisco sour ice cream offered by the Esbari Ice Cream Shop.

• Jiron de La Union - Our next stop is the church of Nuestra Señora de La Merced, dating back to the 16th century. Crossing Emancipación Avenue, we see the remnants of the famous Palais Concert, a gathering place for Lima’s intellectual elite during the 1920s and 1940s. In Plaza San Martín, we are greeted by the first luxury hotel in our capital, the Hotel Bolívar, and the imposing, though unused, Teatro Colón. These two buildings remind us of the grandeur of Lima’s past.
• Plaza de Armas (Plaza Mayor) - The Plaza de Armas or Plaza Mayor, located in the heart of the historic center and on the very site where the conqueror Francisco Pizarro founded the city in 1535, is one of the most important places to visit in Lima. Surrounded by some of the city’s most significant buildings such as the Cathedral, the Government Palace, the Archbishop’s Palace, and the Sagrario Church, this spacious square is also a popular meeting point for tourists and locals around a beautiful fountain, being the most famous and bustling place in the city.
• Museo Convento San Francisco y Catacumbas - Another impressive site in Lima is the Monastery of San Francisco, located near the Plaza de Armas. Renowned for its catacombs and incredible library, where thousands of ancient texts, some from the time of the Spanish conquest, can be admired, this monastery also features a basilica with a neoclassical style main altar, the sacristy, the chapter house, and the cloister. It is also known for its vast catacombs where around 70,000 corpses rest, some in crypts filled with bones arranged “with a decorative sense.”
