In the afternoon, visit to the city of Kings. We will start our outing in the district of Miraflores. Our first stop will be in the famous Parque del Beso (Park of the Kiss), a landmark in the city and where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Lima Bay. Afterwards we will go to the historical Downtown Lima, a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, which awaits us full of stories of yesteryear. On the way we will pass by the Huaca Pucllana, pre-inca pyramid that is similar to a modern city. After arriving at the Plaza Mayor of Lima (Lima’s Center Square), surrounded by the Cathedral, the Archbishopric of Lima, the Government Palace and the Municipality, we will enter the Cathedral of Lima, where the crypt of the conquistador Francisco Pizarro is located. Then we will go across the Plaza Mayor and enter the Convent of Santo Domingo, colonial architectural jewel where time seems to have stopped. In this place lie the mortal remains of Santa Rosa de Lima, San Martín de Porres and San Juan Masías, much worshiped saints. Inside we will find a great library that stores books printed in the XV century. At this convent the first University of America was established, San Marcos. Then, visit to the Larco Museum, a place where we will get a clear vision of the different Cultures that existed in Ancient Perú. Expect to be astonished admiring the gold pieces, textiles and erotic pottery which are part of the collection that will introduce us to the cosmovision of the ancient Peru. The warehouse of this museum will be open during our visit so that we can appreciate the expressions of art that were reflected in their pottery. Return to the hotel.
