We begin our journey through the legendary "City of Kings," exploring its fascinating history from pre-Hispanic times to modern Lima.

Our adventure starts in the Historic Center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will visit the majestic Plaza San Martin and the iconic Gran Hotel Bolivar. From there, we will walk through historic streets until we reach the emblematic Plaza Mayor, home to architectural jewels such as the Government Palace, the Archbishop's Palace, and the imposing Cathedral of Lima.

We will continue with a visit to the Monastery of San Francisco, famous for its elegant baroque style and its enigmatic Catacombs, a subway network of tunnels and crypts that reveals a different facet of the colonial city.
