Highlights
  • Huaca Pucllana - Discover two little secrets about the incredible capital of Peru that most tourists miss. First, prepare to be amazed at Huaca Pucllana, an amazing pre-Inca temple built by the ancient inhabitants of Lima more than 1,500 years ago. It’s like traveling back in time and immersing yourself in the history of Lima!
  • Parque Chino de Miraflores - Then, visit the brand new Parque Chino, an amazing place to take photos thanks to its dreamlike landscapes. Also, you will be surprised to know that Peru has a strong cultural connection with China.
  • Miraflores Boardwalk - The Malecón de Miraflores, located in the Miraflores district of Lima, is like a movie park that winds along the cliff of the Costa Verde, offering one of the most spectacular views of the Pacific that will take your breath away. If you are in Lima, there is no excuse to miss out on this gem. What you will find on the Malecón de Miraflores is almost like an oasis in the middle of the city. In addition to the postcard-perfect ocean, this place is full of grassy areas where you’ll want to kick back and hang out. It is as if nature and the metropolis had come together to give you a corner of tranquility and beauty. The Malecón is a long walk, about 5 kilometers in total, divided into three sections so you don’t miss a thing:
    Malecón de la Marina: From the Manuel Bonilla stadium to the Miguel Grau Park.
    Malecón Cisneros: From the Miguel Grau Park to the Villena bridge.
    Malecón de la Reserva: From the Villena bridge to the Armendaríz descent.
  • Faro de Miraflores - What makes the Miraflores boardwalk so special? It’s not just nature at its best, with colorful parks and gardens, but also the little details like sports courts and exercise stations. Everything here seems to be in harmony.
    And when summer arrives, it’s the perfect time to take out your picnic basket and enjoy the sun, accompanied by the spectacle of paragliders filling the sky. And speaking of the sun, you cannot miss the wonder of the sunset from any point along the Malecón de la Marina. If you are lucky, you will have a privileged view of the Costa Verde and the imposing Morro Solar de Chorrillos.

Additional Information

Join us on this excursion to two sensational spots in the heart of Peru. Beginning at Huaca Pucllana Site Museum, a captivating attraction that provides a vivid depiction of Lima’s vibrant history and cultural heritage. Years of archaeological research have transformed this ancient earth mound into a symbol of Lima’s cultural richness. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll gain insight into the lifestyle of Lima’s inhabitants from 1,500 years ago, finding intriguing areas filled with pottery, along with remnants of the old civilization. Notably, a seven-tiered truncated pyramid constructed with ‘adobitos’, a type of mud brick.
Our journey continues to the recently established Chinese Park, a generous gift from the Chinese community in celebration of Peru’s Bicentennial independence. Signifying 172 years of Chinese migration to Peru, this public space displays elements of East Asian heritage, including a Chinese pavilion, manicured gardens, and imposing granite guardian lions. Drawing inspiration from China, the park serves as a testament to the flourishing diplomatic ties between Peru and China.
We look forward to your joining us!
