Itinerary

1. Fisherman's Wharf
Begin your experience at a lively fisherman’s market in Chorrillos, where you’ll watch local fishermen bring in the catch of the day. Stroll through the market as boats unload, take in the colorful fishing vessels lining the bay, and enjoy the vibrant, authentic atmosphere of Lima’s traditional coastal life.
Duration: 30 mins
2. Morro Solar
At roughly 251 meters above sea level, enjoy sweeping views of the Pacific coastline, Chorrillos Bay, and the hillside shantytowns below. Often overlooked on other tours, this scenic overlook becomes a surprising highlight for many of our guests.
Duration: 15 mins
3. Barranco
Continue your day with a relaxed walk through Barranco, Lima’s bohemian district known for its creative energy, thriving art scene, and festive street life. As you wander past local vendors, musicians, and performers, you’ll immediately feel the contrast with the other neighborhoods to be visited later. Bright, colorful graffiti murals and open‑air art spaces line the streets, showcasing some of the most vibrant urban creativity in the city. If you’re up for it, we’ll also stop to try some of the best artisan ice creams around—classic gelato and seasonal Peruvian fruit sorbets, with samples available to help you choose.
Duration: 60 mins
4. El Parque del Amor
An artistic park perched along the sea‑side cliffs of Miraflores, where you can watch paragliders gliding overhead and couples strolling the pathways dedicated to lovers. It’s a beautiful spot to pause and capture a quick photo with someone special.
Duration: 15 mins
5. Huaca Pucllana
Make a brief stop at Huaca Pucllana, Lima’s iconic adobe pyramid used as a ceremonial and administrative center by the Lima Culture between 200 and 700 AD. This visit is observational only, with views of the site from the outside.
Duration: 15 mins
6. Parque El Olivar de San Isidro
As we make our way toward Lima’s Historic City Center, we’ll pass through the Parque El Olivar, a serene historic olive grove with trees dating back more than 400 years. Set in the heart of contemporary San Isidro, this peaceful green sanctuary offers a striking contrast to the modern city surrounding it.
Duration: 15 mins
7. Casa Tambo Restaurant
Enjoy a relaxed lunch at Casa Tambo, a beautifully restored historic space in the heart of Lima’s Centro Histórico. Their kitchen highlights traditional Peruvian flavors with fresh, regional ingredients, served in a warm and elegant colonial setting. Menu consumption is not included.
Duration: 60 mins
8. Plaza San Martin
As we begin the Historic Center portion of our tour, we’ll stop at Plaza San Martín, home to the monument honoring one of Peru’s most celebrated liberators, José de San Martín. This elegant square sets the tone for the rich history and architecture we’ll explore throughout the area.
Duration: 15 mins
9. Mercado Central
Experience the vibrant heart of local life at Mercado Central, Lima’s bustling traditional market. Walk through colorful aisles filled with fresh produce, regional ingredients, spices, and everyday staples that reflect the city’s culinary heritage. Your guide will help you navigate the lively atmosphere, highlight unique Peruvian products, and share insights into how locals shop, cook, and connect in this essential part of the city.
Duration: 60 mins
10. Museo Convento San Francisco y Catacumbas
Also known in English as the St. Francis Monastery, this historic church and convent were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1991. We will briefly observe the convent from the outside and have the opportunity to step inside the church to take in its surroundings. A full tour of the Convent and Catacombs is not included on this overview itinerary.
Duration: 15 mins
11. Plaza de Armas (Plaza Mayor)
Here we’ll spend a few minutes in the very heart of Lima. The Plaza de Armas is home to the Presidential Palace, the Archbishop’s Palace, the Cathedral, and the Municipal buildings, and it often comes alive with people, music, and spontaneous street entertainment. It’s an ideal moment to take in the historic atmosphere that defines the city’s center.
