Itinerario
Después de recogerlo, realizaremos un viaje rápido de 20 minutos hacia la primera parada, "La Plaza San Martín", que está rodeada de magníficas estructuras como el Gran Hotel Bolívar, el Teatro Colón, edificios únicos de estilo Art Nouveau, etc. Esta hermosa plaza fue construida en 1921 para honrar el primer centenario de la independencia peruana, para muchos historiadores del arte es una de las plazas más grandes y hermosas de Lima. Además, para muchos lugareños, esta plaza es importante porque está dedicada al General José de San Martín, un líder clave para la lucha por la independencia en América del Sur.
Viajaremos en el tiempo caminando por el reconocido Jirón de la Unión, una famosa calle peatonal, considerada desde la época colonial como la calle más importante de Lima donde se congregaban aristócratas y personajes ilustres. Además, en el camino observaremos magníficas construcciones de diferentes siglos así como impresionantes iglesias coloniales. A tu guía turístico le encantará contarte los misterios y las divertidas curiosidades que cada edificio esconde y está deseando descubrir.
Visitaremos nuestra impresionante Plaza de Armas, la cual está rodeada de importantes edificios como el Palacio de Gobierno, la Catedral, el Palacio Arzobispal, el Ayuntamiento, el Club Unión, etc. Tendremos una suave explicación turística de todos estos importantes edificios. Por supuesto, no perderemos la oportunidad de conocer la historia de la ocupación de este lugar por parte de los nativos peruanos antes de la llegada de los españoles.
Para muchos arquitectos e historiadores del arte, la "IGLESIA DE LA MERCED" tiene uno de los mejores ejemplos de fachada de estilo barroco en todo el centro histórico, por lo que es imposible no admirar su belleza y tomar fotos impresionantes. La iglesia original era una pequeña construcción de madera y construida ya antes de la fundación de Lima. Sin embargo, la iglesia que vemos ahora ha pasado por diferentes restauraciones pero sigue siendo hermosa. Solo si está abierto tendremos la oportunidad de visitar el interior de la iglesia, te encantará.
Visitaremos una de las iglesias más impresionantes y visitadas llamada "Iglesia de San Francisco de Lima", en este museo podemos encontrar la biblioteca más antigua de América Latina con más de 25,000 libros originales; el elevado salón del coro, el cual está rodeado por unas increíbles sillas talladas a mano, el incomparable claustro principal y charry de la torta son las impresionantes y misteriosas Catacumbas ubicadas bajo tierra de la iglesia, este misterioso lugar fue un cementerio público de la época colonial para los católicos . A lo largo de los últimos siglos se han contado muchas historias sobre este lugar, estoy seguro que te encantará escucharla.

This was a great way to explore the historical city. We were very lucky to be the only two on the tour so had a private guide Amadeus. He was brilliant. Very warm, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He was great at taking photos and answering all our questions. He gave us some great tips on places to go after the tour too. The churros included in the tour are soooooo good. Definitely get the caramel. I added on the transfer the day before as I thought it would be easier than travelling from miraflores ourselves as we were worried about traffic. The company were very responsive. Everything was very easy to organise and went smoothly. Elvis the driver was punctual and pleasant and our guide Amadeus was with him so our tour started from hotel pick up. Definitely go this tour when in Lima. Our tip - go in the morning, finish at the palace for the changing of the guards and go to the Terrace club at 12 when it opens for a cocktail with a view of the palace. It’s beautiful inside too.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review dear Alison! 💚 We're delighted to hear that you had such a great experience exploring Lima's Historic Center with Amadeus. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him and with Elvis. They'll be thrilled to know they made your day so memorable. We're also happy you enjoyed the churros (the caramel is definitely a favorite! 😄) and that the hotel transfer made everything easier and stress-free. Thank you for recommending our tour and for sharing such helpful tips with future travelers. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Peru someday!
Amadeus, Amadeus....Amadeus is a fantastic guide. Super chill dude, extremely open and funny. Kept things light, but still managed to teach us a lot about Lima, from history to culture to food (including a great restaurant recommendation!). If we were staying longer (or perhaps on a return trip), we would def book another tour. Rock on, Amadeus!
