🇵🇪✨ Lima is more than my city... it's my great love. 🚶‍♂️ I grew up walking its streets, hearing stories on every corner, and feeling how the past and present embrace in its historic center. 🐾 I love animals, 🍲 good food, and 🏛️ the traditions that make us unique; and on every walk through Lima, I find something new that reminds me why I fell in love with it. 📅 Since 2014, I've shared this passion with people from all over the world, not just to show them buildings and squares, but to help them feel 🌸 the essence of a living city, full of aromas, colors, and smiles. 📖 For me, every street in Lima is a chapter in a story that I never tire of telling. 🌎

Tour description

👋 Welcome to Lima, travelers!

Get ready to experience a unique journey where history, culture, and flavors blend at every turn 🌆.

We'll start in the heart of the city, visiting the Plaza Mayor, the mysterious Taulichusco monument, Pizarro's horse, the elegant House of Literature, and the imposing Lima balconies that preserve centuries of colonial stories.

In the Church of Santo Domingo we will see the great Golden Altar and the altars of Saint Rose of Lima and Saint Martin de Porres, jewels of faith and Baroque architecture.

We'll continue to the House of Peruvian Gastronomy, where we'll understand why our cuisine is considered one of the best in the world 🍴. Then, we'll enjoy a delicious experience at the Cacao Museum 🍫, with a tasting that highlights one of Peru's sweetest treasures.

We'll also meet with local artisans 🎨 and, of course, we'll close with a flourish by the Rímac River, enjoying a piscos tasting and macerated traditional fruit drinks 🍹🥂 in one of the city's most authentic wineries.
