Itinerary and highlights

The Huaca Pucllana was an important ceremonial center of the Lima culture. It is not ruled out that other types of activities may have been carried out on the site, perhaps linked to administrative aspects, but the evidence suggests that the ritual activity was the main one.

From here you have a magnificent view of the sea. It is inspired by the Park Güell in Barcelona and has in the central part a sculpture called "El Beso" by the Peruvian sculptor Víctor Delfín. The walls, cheerfully decorated with mosaics, show love phrases in Spanish and Quechua, as well as the names of famous couples in the history of love and others who helped finance its construction.

This beautiful place constitutes the most representative sector of San Isidro and symbolizes the viceregal and republican tradition of the district.

This square is crowned by the monument to the Liberator Don José de San Martín, who proclaimed the Independence of Peru in 1821, and bordered by beautiful historical buildings such as the Teatro Colón, the Gran Hotel Bolívar and the Club Nacional.

The Plaza Mayor de Lima or Plaza de Armas de Lima is the founding site of the city of Lima, capital of Peru. It's the main public space of the city. It is located in the historic center of Lima, around it soberly rise the Government Palace of Peru, the Cathedral of Lima, the Church of the Tabernacle, the Archbishop's Palace of Lima, the Municipal Palace of Lima and the Club de la Unión. The Municipality and the Cathedral face to face bear witness to the stamp of the Hispanic trace.

The Cathedral of Lima is considered the main headquarters of the Catholic Church in Peru. Its history begins in 1535, when the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro ordered the construction of a Catholic temple, which was inaugurated in 1540, and which the Supreme Pontiff Paul III converted, a year later, into a cathedral.
