Begin at the Plaza de Armas, the heart of colonial Lima, where your guide will bring to life the story of the city’s founding by Francisco Pizarro and its rise as one of Latin America’s most splendid capitals. Then, visit the San Francisco Convent, the largest in Lima, to explore its eerie underground catacombs — once used as the main burial site during colonial times.

Finally, venture into one of Lima’s hidden gems: the Presbítero Matías Maestro Cemetery, built in 1808 and known as the oldest public cemetery in the Americas. Admire its stunning neoclassical mausoleums, visit the Crypt of Heroes, and uncover chilling tales at the Pavilion of Suicides. A truly one-of-a-kind cultural and historical experience!
