The tour begins with picking up passengers from their hotels in Lima. Our first stop is Intihuatana Park on the Malecon of Miraflores, where we can enjoy views of the Pacific Ocean. We will then explore the modern residential areas of Miraflores and San Isidro, and view the Huaca Pucllana from outside—a ceremonial pre-Inca pyramid that has withstood Lima’s urban expansion.

Next, we will visit El Olivar Park and the Financial Center before heading to the Historic Center of Lima. This area, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991, was the heart of the Spanish colony established in the sixteenth century. We will explore Plaza San Martin, its balconies, historic houses, Plaza Mayor, and significant buildings such as the Government Palace, the Cathedral of Lima, the Archbishop's Palace, the Municipal Palace, and the Desamparados Station.

We will also visit one of the most important monasteries from the seventeenth century, which houses the relics of three Peruvian saints: Santa Rosa de Lima, San Martin de Porres, and San Juan Macías. Afterward, we will return to Miraflores, where you will have the option to visit the local market at Larcomar.

During the flight, you'll see various figures etched into the Nazca desert’s surface, including stylized animals and plants arranged in a vast network of lines, trapezoids, triangles, and spirals that have been preserved for nearly 2,000 years. These remarkable figures are one of the most impressive legacies of ancient cultures and can only be fully appreciated from the sky at an altitude of 1,500 feet.
