Lima: Half Day City Tour with Larco Museum

Explore the colonial and modern sides of the "City of Kings." Gain insights into Lima's historical and contemporary culture. Marvel at the vast treasures of ancient Peru at the Larco Museum.
Today we will learn about the two characters of Lima: the modern one, reflected in the districts of miraflores and san isidro; and the historic one, encapsulated in its historic center declared a world cultural heritage by Unesco. Along the tour through different districts of the city, we will see how the old and the modern coexist in buildings such as the museum of italian art, palace of justice, museum of Lima, plaza san martín, among others.

We will discover the center of Lima on foot, having the main square as the focal point: a beautiful colonial square worthy of photography, surrounded by emblematic buildings such as the government palace, the cathedral and the archbishop|s palace.

We will have the opportunity to enter one of the most iconic ecclesiastical spaces in Lima, the convent of santo domingo, also declared cultural heritage of humanity and where the relics of three peruvian saints are found: Santa Rosa de Lima, San Martín de Porres and San Juan Macías.

The tour would not be complete without a visit to the Rafael Larco Herrera Museum, one of the most important in the country, exhibiting a valuable collection of almost 45,000 pieces of pre-hispanic cultures, especially the mochicas.

This museum stands out for being one of the first in the world to have visitable storerooms and to provide virtual access to its entire collection.

We will marvel at the quality of its pieces of jewelry, textiles and its enigmatic erotic room, dedicated to ceramics alluding to fertility.
