Lima, Peru

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

You thought you'd seen it all... until you walked with us.

If you've already done another city tour, give Lima -and yourself- one more chance. Come with us and feel the difference.

This is NOT a classic historical city tour.

If you are looking for a walk focused on dates, viceroys, churches and colonial trivia, this is not your tour.

This experience is a cultural and anthropological reading of Lima: identity, race, power, memory, social class, contradictions and resistance. All explained through sharp storytelling and great humor on the streets by professional guides and storytellers.

We do talk about history, but only as a tool to understand deeper cultural processes. Expect a critical deconstruction of official narratives, uncomfortable topics, and an honest look at Peru beyond the postcard.
