During this half day tour, you will explore Lima, the capital city of Peru. The enormous size of Lima city has fostered the concentration of people, wealth, political influence, and social advances. Nowadays, Lima accounts for almost one-fourth of Peru’s total population.
The unique location of Lima is just one of the many results of a highly centralized, unitary state that, since its founding in the early nineteenth century, has settled interregional problems by concentrating authority and prestige in the city.
Apart from visiting the city’s beautiful beaches, Lima is a modern as well as historic city, with a range of restaurants, breweries, and art galleries. The historical center of Lima includes 16th-century monasteries (complete with spooky tunnels), Spanish colonial architecture, and cathedrals.
Lima’s historic center runs from Plaza San Martin to Plaza de Armas. It’s where you can learn about Peru’s well-preserved colonial past, with landmarks like the Cathedral of Lima, the Government Palace, and the Main Square. Begin your day by wandering streets dating back to the 1530s, gazing up at the renowned Lima balconies, and immersing yourself in one of the country’s most historic areas.
Exploring Lima is a great way to start any vacation in Peru. The city center is full of beautiful colonial landmarks, which are worth visiting before traveling to other regions of Peru.
