Half Day
This walking tour will give you a good idea of the “real” Lima–full of people, little shops, and a lot of colors. We will meet at a pre-determined meeting point near most of the main hotels to start the day. Then, we will head into Lima’s beautiful colonial center. On the way into the center, your guide will give you some background information about Lima. This is a great time to ask any questions you may have.
You will then spend the next 3 hours visiting the historical center’s main highlights: Plaza San Martin and the beautiful Hotel Bolivar, the impressive Plaza de Armas and Cathedral, City Hall, the Archbishop’s Palace, the Government Palace, the old train station transformed into the House of Literature, the San Francisco church and many magnificent mansions with classical wooden balconies.
Besides these classics, your guide will also take you to see some hidden gems such as: the old Post Office, the City Wall Park with a view of one of Lima’s oldest pueblos jovenes neighborhoods, China Town and the bustling Central Market.
After the tour, you guide will take you back to Miraflores.
