In this option, we will start with a visit to the exterior of the archaeological site of Huaca Pucllana. In front of its 25-meter high pyramid, we will explore the pre-Hispanic history of Lima. If you are interested in learning what life was like between the years 200 and 800, this is your chance. Then, we will take a tour of Lima's historic center, admiring the facades of some of its most emblematic places.
We will also visit the Bodega y Quadra Museum, where we will immerse ourselves in the past with a valuable collection of objects from the viceroyalty, spanning the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries.
One of the most anticipated stops will be the Convent of Santo Domingo, where we will find the relics of Santa Rosa de Lima, San Martin de Porres and San Juan Macias. In addition, we will visit a library with more than 25,000 antique books.
