Take a private tour of the local communities to see a different side of Lima and make a social impact. See where locals live and work, discover the culture, and enjoy a meal at a family home.
Visit a local artisan, and a social project, have lunch at a local family’s house, and learn about daily life in Lima’s human settlements. You will not only learn about interesting historical, political, and cultural facts but, most importantly, you will meet many amazing locals who work very hard to improve their community. Importantly, this tour focuses on positive initiatives and hope. In addition, your visit supports the local project that you will visit and learn more about.
The tour starts with a visit to the second-largest cemetery in the world. This is truly a unique place and not to be missed if you’re interested in local culture or photography. It is different from any other cemetery you’ve seen before! You’ll learn about Andean burial culture and enjoy some great views of the dry hills of Lima.
After that, we'll visit a local lady who started an artisan workshop in her house. She will share her interesting story and show you her handmade art. Next up is lunch! Our lovely and talented local cook welcomes us to her home with a delicious Peruvian lunch. She can take into account any food restrictions, so please let us know if you’re vegetarian or if you have allergies.
The local guide will tell us more about the community as well as the local project that your visit supports. On some days we’ll see the kids participating in the activities! On other days, we’ll undoubtedly meet some of them on our walk. They are very eager to come and say hi to their visitors.
*You can also add the Optional Morning Program, to visit an artisanal fishing pier, where we might even go on a short boat ride along the coast of Lima.
Even though living conditions are harsh here, there is a strong community spirit. It is filled with amazing people who work very hard to improve their community. The visit focuses on hope, optimism, and positive initiatives.
Your visit benefits the local community in different ways. First of all, it provides an (additional) income to several community members, including the cook and the local guide. Secondly, your visit supports a local project, which works especially with minors who do domestic work and their families as well as other local children and teens. Additionally, the tour price includes a donation to this great local organization, ran by our local community guides.
Besides financial benefits, the interest and attention of people who come from all over the world increase the pride of the local people in their communities. They are all in a way community leaders who work hard to improve their environment and community. The admiration of visitors from across the world reinforces their engagement. Too often, they are looked down on by fellow Peruvians from more affluent neighborhoods.
Sometimes, real friendships and long-term engagements have resulted from our tours. For instance, a young aspiring cook is studying to become a chef thanks to people who met him during our tour. We love to see more of this happening too!
