Meet a driver at your hotel and then set out for Lima’s colonial-era city center. Walk through traditional plazas and historic streets, and visit a series of architectural highlights, including the San Francisco Convent—a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Next, head to the coastal Miraflores neighborhood, stopping by Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Incan pyramid surrounded by modern homes, on the way to the Inka Market. Get tips on picking up the best handicrafts and souvenirs before continuing to the Park of Love and some great views of the beach.
Finally, drive to the top of Morro Solar for sweeping views of Chorrillos Bay, the city, and shantytowns, and learn about Lima’s persistent cultural divisions. If you’re adding the optional extension, visit Kennedy Park’s huge population of local cats and then pause at a beloved sandwich spot to purchase a classic Lima lunch before returning to your original departure point.
