This guided tour takes you through colonial Lima and Chinatown, one of the most emblematic areas of the Peruvian capital, an incredible mix of cultures!
Colonial Lima + China Town Tour
We’ll meet at 10 am in Lima's main square to start this tour of the old and colonial part of the Peruvian capital. First, we’ll visit the cathedral of Lima, the burial place of the famous conquistador Francisco Pizarro, and its sacred museum.
Afterwards, we'll walk through the streets of the historic center of Lima until we reach the Cordano Tavern, one of the most traditional and emblematic bars in the city. Here we'll relax tasting some of Lima's typical drinks, such as chicha morada or pisco sour.
After the visit to the tavern, we’ll go to the Convent of San Francisco, an authentic architectural jewel of Lima built in the 17th century. We’ll enter the sanctuary and visit the ancient catacombs, a cemetery from colonial times.
The next stop will be at the Central Market, which has been exhibiting the typical products of Lima for centuries. Afterwards, we'll visit the Barrio Chino, an emblematic area of Lima created by Chinese immigrants, where we'll see its shops, shops, and chifas or oriental restaurants. It'll seem more like Asia than Peru!
We'll finish the tour at this point at 1 pm.
