More than a classic tour, we offer the most complete and authentic experience of Lima.

Unlike other tours, we designed a journey of contrasts so you can experience the true essence of the Peruvian capital in one day:

• Perfect balance: Feel the Pacific breeze in Miraflores, breathe the bohemian art in Barranco, and immerse yourself in the colonial majesty of the Historic Center.

• Immersive exploration: We don't just see facades; we descend into the mysterious Catacombs of San Francisco for an unforgettable underground adventure.

• Flavors and surprises: You will discover the renowned Peruvian cocoa at ChocoMuseo. Furthermore, we will spoil you with a delicious "local secret" (a sweet surprise off the itinerary!).

• Smart shopping: We ended up in Polvos Azules, a vibrant commercial hub. We will guide you to acquire souvenirs and handicrafts at fair prices, like a true Limeño.

Don't just see Lima, live it and savor it with us!
