Description

Visit the City of Kings and discover the fascinating combination of colonial and republican architecture in the Historic Center, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This tour offers you a complete experience, where you will enjoy views from a 360° panoramic bus and also walk through the most emblematic areas of the old town. Throughout the tour, you will learn about the contrasts between modern Lima and viceregal Lima, while immersing yourself in its history, culture, and evolution. The tour is divided into two parts. First, from the panoramic bus, you will explore the districts of Miraflores, with the ancient Huaca Pucllana and its boardwalk overlooking the ocean; San Isidro, with its elegant financial district and the historic El Olivar Forest; on the way to the historic center, you will see the famous Parque de la Reserva, home to the spectacular Magic Water Circuit, recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest fountain complex in the world in a public park. It's the perfect place to enjoy the modern and artistic side of the city and part of the Historic Center, where you'll see monuments such as Plaza San Martín and colonial mansions that reflect the Lima of yesteryear. Then, the tour continues on foot from the Plaza Mayor, where you will walk through streets steeped in history, surrounded by buildings such as the Government Palace, the Archbishop's Palace, the Cathedral, and the Municipality of Lima.

A unique experience, steeped in history, mystery, and symbolism. This panoramic walking tour allows you to explore Lima from different perspectives: its pre-Hispanic past, its colonial splendor, and its vibrant present.
