Touching down in the Peruvian capital, independently make your way to our modern, 4-Star hotel in the Miraflores district - a cosmopolitan residential area beside the Pacific Ocean. This afternoon we enjoy a guided coach tour of Lima.
Lima's rich history dates back to pre-Columbian times when it was settled by the indigenous Lima and Ichma people. The city was colonized by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century and has a remarkably well-preserved colonial center. On our tour we visit the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with free time in the Plaza d'Armas, the birthplace of the city. We also see the church and convent of Santa Domingo and explore the beautiful courtyards and catacombs. In Miraflores, we visit the Parque del Amor, a colorful park with mosaics reminiscent of Barcelona's Park Guell.
The rest of your afternoon and evening is free to explore and to dine independently. You may like to visit the nearby Barranco district of Lima, a colorful quarter with vibrant street art, where you will find several restaurants dotted along the coastal walkway.
