Colonial & Modern Lima + Archeological Museum

Lima old and new comes to life on this fascinating tour that takes in the colonial and modern parts of the city as well as the excellent Archaeological Museum, which boasts the largest collection of pre-colonial artefacts produced by Peru’s ancient civilizations from 12000 BC through to Inca times.

Begin your adventure at the Financial Centre, the San Isidro Golf Course and the Olive Grove Park. Continue to the Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca pyramid-shaped temple that has survived the ravages of time. Stop at the romantic Parque del Amor and enjoy a the views of the Pacific Ocean as you drive down the Miraflores Malecon, a scenic road along the cliffs overlooking the sea.

Visit downtown Lima’s historical centre and admire sights such as the Plaza Mayor, the Presidential Palace, the Cathedral, the Archbishop’s Palace, the City Hall and the Desamparados Train Station. Visit the baroque San Francisco Monastery and its famous underground catacombs.

The highlight of the tour is the Archaeological Museum, which is housed in an old colonial mansion. This historic building is an ideal setting in which to discover, relive and question the life experiences of our ancestors.
