What You Can Expect
Lima offers the visitor an opportunity to admire various styles of colonial architecture as well as beautifully ornate churches and balconies. Along with your local guide, you will stroll through the main square of Lima and continue down the cobblestone streets toward the San Francisco Convent, recognized as a World Heritage UNESCO site. While visiting the convent, you will observe one of the largest and oldest libraries in the Americas and be afforded the opportunity to explore a bit in the ancient Catacombs beneath.
Once we've finished up with our tour of Lima we will head over to TripAdvisor's top attractions of Lima, the Larco Museum. Built at the top a seventh century pyramid, this vice-royal mansion is a site to see with its beautifully cared for gardens; you will find yourself snapping photos of the grounds as much so as the relics inside. We'll start with time for lunch on the terrace among the gardens of the museum, allowing you a taste of the local cuisine. After a lunch that will be sure to satisfy your palate, your private guide will take you back through time, over 5000 years, as they share with you the history of Peru. As you peruse the extraordinary collection of antiquities you will learn of intriguing cultures from times past, people groups who came much earlier than those that are most well known to us, the Incas. You will be amazed by the gold and silver collection, the largest that we have from the ancient times. As you wind your way through the museum's very own 45,000 piece collection of classified archaeological remains, you will understand just why this museum is a must see! Finally, you will have the chance to visit the famous erotic section of the museum, one of the most frequented attractions in all of Peru.
