Tour description

Join us to learn about the history of Peruvian religious images and saints who have marked a milestone in our country and the world, and who are today recognized for their legacy in the Catholic faith. We will visit the places where these figures were born, lived and made history.


We will begin our tour in the Plaza Mayor of Lima , where we will have a panoramic view of the Cathedral of Lima and Plaza Mayor, and we will continue seeing from outside the convent of Santo Domingo where Santa Rosa de Lima , the patron saint of America, is buried.


We will then enter the Basilica of Santa Rosa , the place where the saint from Lima was born, and there we will learn more about her life and the time in which she lived. From there we will see the house of San Martín de Porras , the first mulatto saint of Peru.

Afterwards we will visit the church of the Nazarenas (it is not always open) where the image of the Lord of Miracles , the patron saint of Lima, rests.
