44 days in Lima Itinerary

Founded in 1535 by Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro, Lima represents an interesting blend of modern attractions and preserved colonial architecture, much of it clustered in the World Heritage-listed city center.

Head to Shopping Center Larcomar (Centro Comercial Larcomar) and Galeria Indigofor some retail therapy. Do some cultural sightseeing at Miraflores and Museo Larco. Venture out of the city with trips to Playa Santa Maria del Mar (in Santa Maria Del Mar), Callao (Wetlands of Ventanilla, Museo de Sitio Naval- Submarino Ex Bap Abtao, & more) and Toboganes de Songos (in San Jeronimo de Surco). The adventure continues: steep yourself in history at Huaca Pucllana, wander the streets of Barranco, surround yourself with nature on a nature and wildlife tour, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco.
