PROGRAM
ANCESTRAL LIMA
At the Huaca Pucllana, an archaeological precinct
build in the IV century A.C., we will have a
panoramic view of this magnificent ceremonial and
administrative centre which was considered by the
Incas a holy village. We will learn about the life
and rituals of its ancient inhabitants and admire
its typical pyramidal building, very characteristic
of sacred Pre-Hispanic edifications which were
adored in the coast of Peru.
COLONIAL LIMA
The Peruvian Viceroyalty was the most important one
in the Spanish Empire and Lima was its capital. The
highlights of its historical centre are its
architecture and the urban design of the city, found
in the old streets filled with colonial houses
adorned with Moorish-style balconies. Our trip
includes the Paseo de la Republica (Promenade of the
Republic), Plaza San Martin(San Martin Square) and
the Plaza Mayor (Main Square), with their different
buildings: Palacio de Gobierno (Government Palace),
Palacio Arzobispal the (Archbishop’s Palace), the
Basilica Catedral (Cathedral Basilica) and the
Palacio Municipal (Municipal Palace).
In its historic centre we shall visit one of its
most beautiful buildings, the Museum of the Banco
Central de Reserva, where we can admire Peru's
treasures: a fine selection of objects made in gold,
ceramics and textiles of its different Pre-Columbian
cultures, ranging since their origins to Inca times
(*).We will enter the monumental Convento de San
Francisco (Convent of Saint Francis), which displays
the biggest collection of religious art in America.
We can admire the Choir Room and the Monks’ Library,
the Sacristy, with its collection of Zurbaran and
Rivera paintings. The Big Patio of the Main
Cloister, decorated with Sevillan tiles from the XVI
century, it’s beautiful Moorish arches and its
subterranean crypts known as The Catacombs, where
you will feel the presence of Lima's colonial past.
CONTEMPORARY LIMA
Visit to the most traditional residential areas in
the capital: The Olive Grove of San Isidro,
Miraflores and Larco Mar, distinctive tourist centre
