Airport TransferWelcome to Lima, the City of Kings. Upon arrival to the airport, you will be transferred to your hotel. Please look for your driver at the airport, he will be holding a sign with your name on it. Once you have checked into the hotel, the remainder of your first day will be free. While Peru’s capital officially began life in 1535, when Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro founded the city on the Day of the Three Kings, settlements had been scattered through the valley since before the Incas. The city was built on top of an existing palace and temples that belonged to the local chief who had little choice but to move on. Lima was in its prime during the Spanish colonial days and much of the city’s attraction now lies in its well-preserved historical center.

Lima Discovery Walking Tour (B)
At 1:15 pm, you’ll start the exploration to the colonial side of the city. This fun and dynamic tour of Lima is more than a history lesson, it connects you with the heart and soul of this fascinating Peruvian city, from the people that really know what it’s like to live there – the locals. Ditch the history books, this Lima walking tour will give you everything you need to know! You’ll meet your local guide at the main gate of the Virgen Milagrosa Church in Miraflores and start the tour by taking the local bus to downtown, just as locals do. On the way, you’ll learn a few words of Spanish, something that will come in handy for the rest of your Lima travel experience! Here you’ll also get some insider info on the colonial times in Perú, before heading out on your adventure through the City of Kings. Our walk continues along part of the Jirón de la Union, a pedestrian avenue linking Plaza San Martin to Plaza de Armas. Along the way, your local guide will be pointing out the sights along this street, from the hidden gems to Lima's classic must-sees. Next on this Lima city tour, you’ll go to the colorful Central Market. With your local guide, you’ll navigate your way through the various stalls, checking out the fresh produce and learning about the eating habits of the locals. From jungle, to coast, to “altiplano”, or high plains, Peru has a rich and diverse food culture, and you'll find examples of dishes from all over the country at the market and learn about them from a local. Thought Peru didn't have much of a food scene? You can think again! As you move ahead on this historical Lima tour you will visit the breath-taking Monasterio San Francisco, home to huge underground catacombs and a building so rich in history that it was named a UNESCO World Heritage site back in 1991. As you take in the views of the building and this square, your local guide will be filling you with knowledge about everything you see. After all that learning, it’s time to rest your body and give yourself a break, and the only way to do that in Lima is with a Pisco Sour in hand! Your local guide will take you to the place where this iconic drink is the best in town, or so they claim… This Lima tour will come to an end here, and our driver will take you back to your hotel.
