After breakfast at your hotel, our Machupicchu America travel guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby at either 9:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. (you may choose the morning or afternoon tour). We will begin our tour by visiting the modern suburbs of San Isidro and Miraflores, where we will see the Financial Center, the San Isidro Golf Course, and the Olive Grove Park. We will also pass by Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca pyramid-shaped temple that has survived the expansion of modern civilization.

Next, we will stop at Parque del Amor (Love Park) to enjoy a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean as we drive along the Miraflores malecon, a scenic road running along the cliffs overlooking the ocean.

We will then visit downtown Lima’s historical center, designated by UNESCO as a Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 1991. On this journey, we will explore what was once the center of the 16th-century Spanish colony. We will see the Plaza Mayor, the Presidential Palace, the Cathedral, the Archbishop’s Palace, City Hall, and the Desamparados Train Station. We will also visit Plaza San Martín, a large park surrounded by old colonial buildings featuring beautiful carved wooden balconies and other historical landmarks. Our tour will include a visit to the San Francisco Monastery and its famous underground crypts, known as the Catacombs.

At the end of the tour, you will have the option to either shop at the Indian Market, explore Larcomar Mall, or return to your hotel.
