Free Walking Tour of Lima
Lima Free Walking Tour
At the indicated time, we'll start our free tour of Lima. Time to walk through the streets of the Peruvian capital with a local guide and visit its most emblematic monuments!
We'll visit San Martin Square, and, together with the guide, we'll walk along the most famous street of the historical centre called Jiron de la Union to enjoy the beautiful architecture of Lima and its most iconic monuments.
As we continue our tour we'll visit its most impressive monuments, such as Plaza de Armas, the Governmental Palace and the Cathedral of Lima. During this time you'll learn all about the history of this capital city founded by the Conquistador Francisco Pizarro in 1535.
Afterwards, we'll explain the importance of Peruvian cuisine and we'll give you recommendations to try the best typical dishes in Lima.
We'll also tell you about the church of San Francisco, the history of the catacombs, and how Lima was a fortified city for some 300 years. In fact, part of its wall still exists today in La Muralla Park.
After 2 hours of walking through the historic centre, we'll finish our free tour of Lima.
