Frequently asked questions
What does the day look like?
About 8 hours. Pickup at 9:00 a.m. and the whole morning on foot in the historic centre: Plaza San Martín, Jirón de la Unión, the Plaza Mayor and the catacombs under the San Francisco monastery. Lunch at a local restaurant, then the afternoon in modern Lima by the sea, with the Parque del Amor on the Miraflores cliff.
