  This convent is considered one of the oldest in South America and, during the 17th century, it had the tallest tower on the entire continent. It still functions as an active convent today and features an impressive façade and a beautiful, shining main altar. The visit is mainly from the outside, as this is where we will take the vehicle to return you to your accommodation (the Port of Callao or the airport). However, if the church is open, you will have the opportunity to take a brief look inside
