During the sightseeing tour, we will visit the main attractions of Lima's historic center, declared a Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, where we will see imposing colonial buildings, iconic squares, and streets full of history. The tour includes a visit to the Convento de San Francisco and its Catacombs, one of the most important religious complexes in the city, where we'll learn about its colonial architecture and the ancient underground passages that hold part of Lima's history. Afterwards, we will make scenic stops at iconic places such as the Main Square, the Cathedral of Lima, and the Government Palace.
