Although the Spanish foundation of Lima was in 1535, we know that Lima was inhabited many years before that. Today, you will go on a tour that will take you back in time through the Colonial and pre-Hispanic stages of Peruvian history!

On route to your first stop, you'll be able to see vestiges of the ancient civilization that occupied this part of the country, such as the 2000-year-old pyramids in the centre of Miraflores.

You'll pass by one of these old pre-Hispanic monuments to have a glance from the outside, before heading to the Larco Museum.

The collection exhibited at Larco features the most luxurious gold, silver, and ceramics from ancient Peru and offers the perfect introduction to our millenary history. Afterwards, you head to Lima's City Center to have a look at its imposing architecture. 

Here, you will visit the 16th-century Santo Domingo Convent and have a look at Lima's main square.

Next, we'll start an easy one-hour descent through a small portion of an old Incan road, one of the best-preserved in the area, until arriving at the bohemian neighbourhood of San Blas. 

Our walking city tour will take us not only through the most touristic sites in Cusco such as the Main Square (Plaza de Armas), Cathedral and Koricancha (Temple of the Sun), but also along ancient streets, local markets, and old neighbourhoods. There we will discover the magic of Cusco!
