Lima Tours

You will meet with a Peru For Less representative at the Lima airport and be transferred to your comfortable hotel in Miraflores (the tourist area of Lima).

In the afternoon, you will enjoy an exciting tour of the city´s most significant historical sites.
One city tour will take you to the Plaza Mayor, the heart of colonial Lima. The plaza is enclosed by five buildings, the Government Palace, the Cathedral, the Archbishop´s Palace, the Municipal Palace, and the Palace of Lima. The period architecture, painted in a distinctive, tropical yellow, remains as striking as it did to the conquistadors.
You will also visit recently restored landmarks such as San Martin Square, the Central Railway Station and Muralla Park.
On another tour, you will travel even further back in Lima´s history to the pre-Inca era. The Huaca (Temple) Pucllana, an immense flat-top pyramid similar in structure to a ziggurat, was one of the most important sanctuaries of these ancient peoples. Situated in the center of the Miraflores, one of the more modern districts, the Huaca provides an interesting contrast between the city´s past and present. 
After visiting the Huaca Pucllana, your tour will take you to the districts of Miraflores, where you can shop in the Larcomar on the cliffs of the Pacific Ocean, and Barranco, where you can get a taste for the nightlife of this lively city.
