What makes Guided Tour of the Catacombs in Lima a unique experience ?
Our first stop will be the Love Park in Miraflores. Opened in 1993, it is famous for the sculpture “El Beso” by Peruvian artist Victor Delfín. This park is an ideal place to enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and is popular with couples and tourists.
(panoramic visit): We continue with a panoramic view of Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca pyramid built between the 4th and 7th centuries AD by the Lima Culture. This ancient ceremonial and administrative center offers a fascinating insight into the city's pre-Hispanic history.
In the historic center, we will visit Plaza San Martín, dedicated to the liberator José de San Martín and surrounded by emblematic buildings, such as the Gran Hotel Bolívar and the Teatro Colón. Here, you can feel the splendor of the Lima of old while admiring its historic architecture.
Then, we will visit the church of Our Lady of Mercy, built in the 16th century. Afterwards, we will head to the Plaza de Armas, or Plaza Mayor, founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro. This is the heart of Lima, where the Cathedral, the Government Palace and the Archbishop’s Palace are located, next to colonial houses with carved balconies that reflect Peruvian colonial architectural style.
This 17th century Baroque resort is one of Lima’s most impressive. The Church of San Francisco is famous for its interior decoration and library of antique books. We will visit its catacombs, an underground labyrinth that was used as a cemetery in colonial times, with remains of more than 70,000 people, offering a unique and overwhelming experience.
