This 4-hour Lima City Tour is a strong introduction to understanding Peru’s capital without feeling lost in its size. The visit begins with a panoramic view of the Huaca Pucllana, then the Cathedral of Lima — sacristy, choir stalls, side chapels and the tomb of Francisco Pizarro, founder of the city.

The walk continues around the Plaza Mayor, with the Government Palace and the Municipal Palace, then the Convent of Santo Domingo and its chapels dedicated to Peruvian saints (Santa Rosa de Lima, San Martín de Porres), before a viewpoint over the Pacific Ocean. Instead of simply crossing the city, you begin to read its contrasts, history and energy.
