The monks’ Choir and Library; the Vestry, with paintings by Zurbaran and Rivera; Main Cloister decorated with Sevillian tiles from the 16th century; Moorish arches, and The Catacombs, underground crypts from the colonial times.

The tour continues through the more traditional Residential Areas of Lima: El Olivar in San Isidro, with olive trees brought from Spain in the 17^th century; Miraflores’ Central Park, and Larco Mar, a spot of international thematic attractions which offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean – Larco Mar has become a distinctive symbol of modern Lima.

In just one tour, you can visit the magnificent mansions from the viceroyalty period containing the most important gold, ceramics, textiles and art collections of South America. The world’s great museums are located in capital cities, and Lima is no exception with two of Peru’s most important museums located here. They exhibit the finest works of pre-Colombian art from the ancient Peru.

National Museum of Peruvian History, Anthropology and Archaeology: (2) The museum is located in a colonial house, where "viceroys" and "libertadores" once lived. It is considered to be the most significant and complete museum in Peru. Here you will find famous stone monuments such as the "Estela Raimondi" and the "Obelisco Tello" from the formative period (1000 BC). Also housed in this museum is the most significant collection of ancient textiles, ranging from the pre-ceramic period to the Inca era. The museum also exhibits an important assortment of metal artifacts from Ancient Peru.

The "Larco" Museum is an antique mansion (17^th century) from the viceroyalty period, built on a pre-Colombian pyramid that dates from the 8^th century. This impressive museum contains the famous Erotic Art Chamber and holds the exquisite collection "Gold and Silver from Ancient Peru". These pieces are known worldwide, and have been displayed in the best museums around the world. The Larco Museum is the largest private collection of Peruvian pre-Colombian art in the world.

Sacred and ceremonial center of the beginning of the Christian era, where thousands of pilgrims came to present offerings and consult the oracle of Pachacamac, enabling them to see into the past and into the future to predict their destiny.

Our guided tour to Pachacamac includes a visit to the pyramidal temples and to precincts built by pre-Columbian cultures including the Incas. The Temples of the Sun and of the Virgins of the Sun (Acllahuasi) are part of the archaeological complex, which also includes a museum on site where the idol of the god Pachacamac is kept. The whole area is considered to be sacred, and part of the world’s mystical axis.

This excursion also takes you through the streets of Barranco, a traditional neighborhood in Lima, and to its romantic "Puente de los Suspiros" (The Bridge of Sighs).

The Mujica Gallo collection, will known as the Peruvian Gold Museum, is located in Lima and we offer a guided tour during which you will be able to appreciate the magnificent collection of gold artifacts from the pre-Colombian cultures. The museum also exhibits a significant display of antique and modern arms considered one of the best in its genre. The lure of Peruvian gold drew many European adventurers to this land 500 years ago, eventually causing the Inca Empire to end and heralding the beginning of Spanish rule in Peru.

The Museum is located in the district of Santiago de Surco, and our excursion allows time for you to have a look around this modern residential area in Lima.
