Explore Lima’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, packed with fascinating historic buildings.
The route begins at the traditional Pueblo Libre district, where you visit the Larco Museum, located in a beautifully restored viceregal mansion built on a pre-Columbian pyramid from the seventh century. The museum boasts a complete pre-Hispanic collection of gold and silver objects, as well as pieces of erotic art.
Then visit the Casa Aliaga, a colonial mansion granted by chief conquistador Francisco Pizarro to one of his captains, Jeronimo de Aliaga. This is the only house from that time, that still belongs to the same family. Continue with a scenic tour through the colonial downtown. See the main square, where you can discover the architecture of the Spanish era. Admire Lima’s Cathedral, built during the 16th century. Finish the trip by returning to your hotel.
