Description

You'll kick off this private, personalized, and exclusive experience with a pick-up from your hotel or chosen spot in Lima. From there, you'll head down to the Costa Verde, where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean while touring one of the city's most iconic coastal areas, traveling in total comfort and without rushing. You'll continue by visiting the beaches of Barranco, such as Los Yuyos and Las Sombrillas, where you'll have time to walk, relax, and take pictures with the sea as a backdrop. Then you'll pass by Agua Dulce beach in Chorrillos, a traditional Lima spot, where you can take photos next to the iconic statue of Love. Then you'll head up to La Herradura beach, a natural viewpoint from where you'll see the famous Salto del Fraile show. Your guide will tell you the legend of the friar who, according to tradition, threw himself from the cliffs into the sea to escape a forbidden love, becoming one of the most popular stories on the Lima coast. The tour continues to the Archaeological Sanctuary of Pachacámac, one of the most important ceremonial centers of ancient Peru. Here you'll learn about its ancient history, dedicated to the god Pachacámac, creator of the world according to pre-Inca cultures, and you'll discover temples, pyramids, and sacred squares full of mysticism. Finally, you'll head back to Barranco, Lima's bohemian and colorful neighborhood, known for its art, history, and lively nightlife. You'll visit the famous Bridge of Sighs, where tradition says you must make a wish while crossing it, holding your breath. At the end, we'll drop you off at your hotel or wherever you prefer, and give you recommendations for buying souvenirs or enjoying the local cuisine.
