Description
We will begin by picking you up from your place of stay and heading to Lima’s historic center. Our first stop will be the remarkable Plaza San Martín, surrounded by architectural gems such as the Gran Hotel Bolívar, the iconic twin buildings, the historic Colón Theater and more.
Next, we will journey back in time as we stroll along the famous Jirón de la Unión, once Lima’s most prestigious street, frequented by the city's most prominent figures. We’ll continue to the majestic Plaza Mayor, home to some of the city's most important landmarks: the Government Palace, the Cathedral of Lima, the Archbishop’s Palace, City Hall, the Union Club, and others.
On our way to the Monastery of San Francisco de Asís, we’ll pass the old Library, formerly Lima’s train station and the traditional Bar Cordano. We’ll then descend into the highlight of this section of the tour: the fascinating underground Catacombs.
Afterwards, we will continue to the Magic Water Circuit for an enchanting light and water show. Your tour resumes from your accommodation, where a professional driver and certified guide will pick you up and accompany you to the Water Fountain Park. Upon arrival, you’ll be amazed by the colorful illuminated fountains, music, and visual effects in what is recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest fountain complex in a public park.
Your guide will lead you on a leisurely walk through the park, sharing the history and meaning behind each of the fountains. Of course, you’ll witness the show’s centerpiece: the spectacular “Lights, Water, and Sound Show.”
This performance takes place at the Fantasy Fountain, measuring 120 meters long and over 20 meters wide, a grand stage for its mesmerizing water and light choreography. At times, the fountain becomes a giant screen, projecting images of Peru’s landscapes and culture, accompanied by traditional music.
At the end of this magical evening, your guide and driver will ensure your safe return to your hotel.
