Highlights
  • Chorrillos - Our first stop will be at the Chorrillos Bay where we will observe local fishermen bringing their catch, mending their nets or touching up the paint on their rustic, eye-catching, colorful boats. We’ll also observe Pelicans and visit the sea-side market directly across the street.
  • Pachacamac - 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 your guide you will have the opportunity to stretch out your legs a bit with a 20-minute hike up to the Temple of the Sun; allowing for some breath-taking views of the Lurin 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.)
  • Morro Solar - From the wharf we will climb up the iconic Morro Solar in our private transportation giving you a great vantage point to observe the Southern Coast of Lima, also known as the “Costa Verde” by locals.
  • Barranco - In Barranco we will observe the colorful and fun street art created for us by local artists as we leisurely wander the streets of this quaint neighborhood. If you’re in the mood for an ice cream, we can even stop to sample some of the fresh, local flavors.

Loved the tour and the guides - We had such a great time the day before, we were so happy to join Gaby and her driver on a second day of touring. I should mention the not only was Gaby amazing, her driver was also very knowedgable and added to the information and experience. We started at the local fish market, then drove to Pachacamac Archeological site. Wow, what a site. So informative. Lots of history and stories. Then drove to the hill with the lighted cross for a view of the city.

A taste of modern and ancient Lima. - Our guide Nataly and driver Jorge were an absolute delight. They were so easy to converse with and we laughed a lot. The tour was very interesting from the fishing village of Chorrillos to the ancient site of Pachacamac. They went above and beyond to accommodate my needs being in a wheelchair. This trip is to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Gaby, our guide on yesterday’s Highlights of Lima tour took a photograph of us and Nataly made a watercolour painting of us set in Pachacamac, which she presented to us as a gift. Lisa, the owner of the company, also sent us a gift of chocolates. So very thoughtful. Integrity tourism is a professional company and a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend them to anyone visiting Lima.

Outstanding Day! - We had a fabulous day visiting the Pachacamac ruins and Los Ficus Hacienda. We visited the ruins in the morning, and our guide was well versed in her history of the ruins and the archaeology of the area. That was followed by our visit and tour of Los Ficus Hacienda where we were able to see the Peruvian Paso horses. Our guide there was passionate about the horses as she showed us the stables and introduced us to each of the horses. After a thorough tour of the grounds, we were treated to a demonstration of the training of the horses and a show. To top off the time at the hacienda, we were treated to a delicious lunch. The whole day was amazing. If you have the time to take this tour, it is well worth your time.

Ruins and Horse Show - We started our day with a smile! Integrity was excellent to deal with and emailed us every step of the way. Our driver Jorge picked us up and we went and had a great day at the ruins and the most beautiful Hacienda. Jorge was a pleasure to be with and was excellent in explaining the area. The Los Ficus Hacienda is the perfect way to spend an afternoon! The horses are spectacular and the grounds of the house are breathtaking. Lorena was our host for the day at the Hacienda and did a fantastic job explaining the grounds, the horses and the delicious lunch. Would highly recommend this.
