About this experience
Transportation service will pick you up from your hotel and will transfer you to the traditional Pueblo Libre district, to visit the Larco Museum. Founded by Rafael Larco Hoyle in 1926, the museum is located inside a viceregal mansion built on a pre-Columbian pyramid of the 7th century. The visit to this museum enables us to understand over five thousand years of a high degree of development of the cultures that flourished before the Inca Empire. It shows the most complete pre-Hispanic collection of gold and silver artifacts as well as pieces of erotic art. Over 45,000 archaeological artifacts bear witness of five thousand years of Peruvian history. After, enjoy a delicious dinner at Café del Museo restaurant. Finally, you will be transferred to your hotel.
