Activity itinerary

Plaza San Martin
  • 20m
Opened in 1921 for the centenary of independence, this square is one of Lima’s icons. It highlights the statue of Don José de San Martín and the elegant buildings that surround it, such as the Gran Hotel Bolívar. Its neoclassical and Art Nouveau style makes it a historical and cultural point in the center of Lima.
Jiron de La Union
  • 30m
It is the most emblematic street in the Historic Center of Lima, known for connecting Plaza San Martin with Plaza Mayor. Formerly it was the most elegant area of the city and today it is a pedestrian passage full of shops, historical architecture and urban life. Walking here is about 400 years of Lima history.
Iglesia y Convento La Merced
  • 10m
Located in the Jirón de la Unión, this church is a Baroque gem and one of the oldest temples in Lima. It was founded in 1535 by the Mercedary Order, almost together with the city. Its stone carved facade and golden altarpieces stand out for their beauty. Here was celebrated the first official Mass of Lima.
Plaza de Armas (Plaza Mayor)
  • 40m
Also known as Plaza de Armas, it is the historic heart of Lima, founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535. Here you will find the Government Palace, Lima Cathedral and Municipal Palace. It is the point where the city was born and where the Independence of Peru was proclaimed in 1821.
Basílica and Convent of San Francisco, Lima
  • 10m
This 17th century religious complex is one of the greatest treasures of Lima’s Historic Center. Its Baroque architecture dazzles in the church and convent. Inside it stand out the colonial library and the catacombs, which served as a cemetery during the viceroyal era. It is a place full of history and mystery, part of the World Heritage Site.
Parque de la Muralla
  • 10m
This park is located by the Rimac River and preserves remains of the ancient wall that surrounded Lima in the 17th century to protect it from pirates. Today it is a recreational space with gardens, viewpoints and the monument to Francisco Pizarro, founder of the city. From here you can see beautiful views of Cerro San Cristobal.
