Yoced unlocks historical Lima - This is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon in historic downtown Lima. Went with the wife and lucked out with a private tour! Our guide, Yoced was delightfully conversational, mischievously amusing, and extremely informative. He had the wonderful quality of keeping us filled in on our surroundings, pointing out key landmarks, and also giving us space to explore on our own. We took the tour the day after the president’s manor had been raided by the district attorney because of some dubious Rolexes, and it was exciting and enlightening to discuss current events with our guide and learn more about recent as well as more distant Peruvian political history. The catacombs tour was a highlight, but just because it’s so crazy what a denomination will decide to do with an ocean of human bones.
