The Ultimate Lima Experience: 5 Must-See Attractions & Gems

About this experience

We begin with a visit to the Larco Museum, home to more than 35,000 ancient art pieces. Learn about the fascinating pre-Inca civilizations, their beliefs, and their mastery in ceramics, gold, and textiles. Recognized as the best museum in Peru.

Next, we’ll explore the historic center of Lima, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Admire the elegant Plaza San Martín and the Plaza Mayor, the heart of the colonial city where Lima was founded.

Our journey continues beneath the city, as we descend into the Catacombs of the San Francisco Monastery — an ancient underground cemetery used during the colonial era, where thousands were buried beneath the church in hopes of resting close to God.

Finally, we’ll wrap up the day at the spectacular Magic Water Circuit, the largest water park in the world, to enjoy a colorful and synchronized fountain light show — a magical way to end your day in Lima!
