Full description
Miraflores The Love Park After picking you up, we visit this beautiful park inaugurated in 1993 and it celebrates “love”. At its center, an iconic sculpture “The Kiss” made by the Peruvian artist Victor Delfin, depicts lovers embracing in an endless kiss. Huaca Pucllana (exterior) Then, we see this ancient archaeological site, adobe pyramidal construction built between 200 and 700 AD, representing a ceremonial and administrative area for Lima Culture. San Isidro The Olive Park After, we go to see the preserved olive trees, that date several hundred years. There are also exhibits of old machinery used in the production of olive oil in ancient times, plenty of greenery and an ornamental pond stocked with fish and turtles. Barranco Then, we go to The Artsy neighborhood of Lima. Be amazing by its beautiful murals that make Barranco such a colorful and trendy place. Also, make a wish at “The Bridge of Sighs”. Lunch: at midday there will be a break of 1 hour 30 minutes so you can have lunch. We will recommend you some good local restaurants. Lima Historic Center Plaza San Martin In the second part of the tour, we visit this Plaza made in 19 hundred to commemorate 100 years of Peruvian independence. The surrounding buildings are great, displaying Neoclassic style.

The guide was good, a lovely person. I think I just realized how little there is to actually see. I mean if we are being shown dilapidated historical buildings, it is a shame to the city government. We were being shown neighborhood parks, this tells me that there’s little points of interest to actually see! I would have rather spent a bit more time in the historic centre.

I had a private tour being the only person who booked this excursion. Alexandra was a superb guide, taking the time to show me around everything and give me as much information as possible. I recommend this activity to get a good overview of the capital Lima.

The morning Half day city tour (grouped together) was really nice, the afternoon tour could be skipped as the content was too simple and could be visited on our own. Would have been better to have a separated tour from the half-day and take more time for the city center
