Lima
The capital city of Peru is often the first view travelers get of this beautiful country, and it does not disappoint. A true metropolis lying just beyond the shores of the Pacific Ocean, Lima gives visitors a little bit of everything - historic significance, modern influence, cultural festivals, world-class food, diverse architecture, and exciting nightlife.
In these 4 hours tour we will show you the Historic Center of Lima from the perspective of architects and history lovers. We will check out the different plazas and marvelous buildings from the 16th – 20th century while simultaneously learning how Peruvian history and culture mingle with the present day. Next, descend with us below Lima to visit the famous San Francisco Convent, which displays the largest collection of religious art in America and our highlight will be the visit of the underground vaults, known as catacombs. Lastly, our final destination brings us to the top of it all, a viewpoint overlooking the vast city of Lima, where we will witness the city’s urban growth that arose from the internal migration of families from the Andes and Peruvian jungle.
To jumpstart the tour, we will have the opportunity to try Peruvian coffee. If you aren’t a coffee drinker there are other energy-boosting options, such as a local quinoa-based drink. NOTE, this is a walking tour. We believe that walking is the best way to appreciate all that Lima has to offer. If you prefer to experience this tour a different way, let us know. We assure you that if you wish to explore the city via a vehicle, you will not miss any attractions of the Historic Center of Lima.

Peru has a history of around 5000 years old, and believe it or not but just in Lima City you can find more than 200 archeological sites that includes pyramids and citadels. And I know, maybe you are wondering. Where are those pyramids? I haven’t seen them yet? and the answer is that Lima has developed so much in the last 60 years that now the pyramids are surrounded by modern buildings, so they are like in a situation of ‘hidden’ between the streets of the city.
But! in this tour you will have the opportunity to see one of them, a pyramid of almost 2000 years old located in. We will walk through the different terraces of the pyramid until we reach the top. From there we will explain to you how Lima started growing and also the different events that happened in the Peruvian capital.
After the visit, we will go to the Museum Larco, museum that entered to the list of the Best 25 Museums of the World organized by Trip Advisor. The family Larco-Hoyle has recollected more than 45,000 pieces between ceramics and textiles of the different cultures that developed in ancient Peru and now they show a part of them in the museum located in Pueblo Libre district. It’s important to mention too that this is one of the first museums in the world to allow the access to the storage of it.
After the tour we will give you free time to visit the storage with around 30,000 ceramics and also to take a look to the Erotic Gallery (linked with reproduction, the endlessly regeneration of life and the mother earth). Depending of the time that we start the tour we can have lunch or dinner (included) in the Café Larco located in the magnificent gardens of the museum. Get ready to taste some Peruvian food!

Testimonials
I went on a group trip with Conquer Peru and it was the most incredible experience! I've never been on a trip that packed SO MANY activities and experiences into two weeks, but I truly feel like I got to see the best of the best. Not only did we travel across the entire country, seeing Machu Picchu and the Amazon, Lima and Lake Titicaca, but we knew every restaurant, hotel, and site we visited was an authentic, high quality experience because of Matilde's expertise and knowledge about Peru. It's so fun to travel with a local who can be both a guide and a friend as you take in all the sights. My favorite part was the unique hotels Matilde found for us, like the bungalows along the Amazon river. And of course, Machu Picchu exceeded all my expectations. It really was the trip of a lifetime, thanks to Conquer Peru's organizing!
