  • Gran Hotel Bolívar (we will enter)
  • San Martin Square
  • Union Street (connects to the Plaza de Armas)
  • O'Higgins House (optional)
  • Church of La Merced

  • We will visit the Chabuca Granda avenue where we will head towards the Trujillo bridge (stone bridge), which connects with the Rímac neighborhood.
  • Church of Saint Francis of Assisi



Finally, we will have free tastings , where you can try different varieties of Peruvian Pisco and its multiple presentations; Pisco Sour classes are optional, which is why visitors will be asked if they want to taste or not.
You also have the option of telling the guide that you do not wish to taste pisco.

During the tour, we will explain how a Peruvian lives, which is why the tour guide will explain about typical dishes such as: Grilled chicken and how it is prepared, about Spanish churros, and will visit stalls (optional) where tourists can eat good, pretty and cheap food so that they can observe more, NOT! so that they buy.

Please note that the list of places on our itinerary is free access, so there is no need to worry about it. If the visitor wishes to visit museums such as the Cathedral and Catacombs on their own, they can do so at the end of the Walking Tour with us .

  • Lima Cathedral: 30 soles / 8 dollars
  • Catacombs: 20 soles / 5 dollars
