Detailed Itinerary: Day by Day
Day 1:
Ancestral, Colonial & Contemporary Lima
The city tour will begin by picking you up from your hotel in Lima either in the morning or in the afternoon (this will depend on the time you have chosen to take the tour). The tour will be carried out on our tourist bus as we visit the main attractions of the city.
At the start of the tour, we will head toward the city center, first passing by Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca construction dating back to the 4th century, which was one of the main ceremonial centers of cultures that existed before the Incas. From the bus, we will be able to observe its pyramids, streets, and sacred enclosures, contrasting with the modern buildings that surround it today.
We will continue to the historic center of Lima, where we will visit its main squares and streets, including San Martín Square and the Main Square (Plaza Mayor), where the Cathedral, the Archbishop’s Palace, and the Municipality of Lima are located.
To learn more about the history of Viceroyal Lima, we will visit the Church and Convent of San Francisco, famous for its beautiful altarpieces and its catacombs, a place where Franciscan monks and important authorities or notable devotees of Saint Francis were buried.
We will then continue to Larcomar, one of the largest shopping centers in Latin America, where you will find a variety of shops, restaurants, and a privileged view of the Pacific Ocean.
With this visit, we will have explored the city of Lima and experienced part of its history, from the pre-Inca period to the present day.

Just 11 kilometers from the Plaza de Armas, the historic district of San Jerónimo celebrates its patron saint every late September: 5 days of processions, 26+ dance troupes, a food fair, and a 16th-century church built on an Inca huaca. In 2016, it was declared Cultural Heritage of the Nation. Most tourists don't know it exists; many young locals don't either. This year it starts on Monday, September 28, with the main day on Wednesday 30.
Third Sunday of September. 9 a.m. The pututos sound and 1,500 students from the National School of Sciences of Cusco set off in procession from their school to the Sacsayhuamán esplanade. They are going to compete — for real — in speed, strength, and endurance tests that replicate those the Tahuantinsuyo used to determine who was ready for adulthood. It is not a choreography. It is the Warachicuy, and in 2025 it was declared a Cultural Interest.
Every September 14, thousands of people walk 48 kilometers from the city of Cusco to the sanctuary of the Señor de Huanca, in the district of San Salvador, province of Calca, at 3,100 m.a.s.l. It is neither a tourist trekking trip nor an organized tour: it is a genuine pilgrimage that sets off at night from San Jerónimo and arrives at dawn on the main day. Here we explain the route, what it physical demands, and why this tradition continues to draw devotees from all over Peru and neighboring countries.
