Know before you go

• Lima is the gastronomic capital of the Americas due to its variety of flavours. For that reason, we offer a tour of the "City of Kings," where you will visit the Historic Center of Lima, including the Plaza de Armas, the city's main square, the Government Palace, the Cathedral of Lima, the Archbishop's Palace, and others.
• Then, you will travel to the district of Pueblo Libre to visit the Larco Private Museum, where you will see more than 45 thousand pieces of original ceramics, located in an eighteenth-century mansion built on a seventh-century pre-Columbian pyramid. Note the countless treasures exhibited in one of the world's most prestigious museums for gold and silver. Don't miss the storehouse and the exclusive collection of pre-Columbian erotic ceramics, one of the most popular attractions in South America.
