Here, you can walk along the seafront, visit the Parque del Amor, and enjoy spectacular views from the cliffs.

Next, you’ll explore the bohemian district of Barranco, known for its art, murals, and the traditional Bridge of Sighs. This spot is ideal for taking photos and experiencing Lima’s cultural atmosphere firsthand.

From a refreshing ceviche to a pisco sour tasting, Lima has established itself as the gastronomic capital of the Americas. This experience is perfect for those who have little time in the city but want a comprehensive overview of its history, culture, and traditions. You can complement this tour with the Pisco Route in Ica, a visit to the Palomino Islands, or a trip to the Nazca Lines.
