    Step back in time at what is considered the oldest and first official bar in Peru.

    This lovely street is a favorite local spot where people come to enjoy temporary art exhibitions and a comfortable atmosphere filled with a fresh coastal breeze. Beyond its charm, the area hides the most important sacred rock for living native communities. This site remains an active spiritual center where offerings and "payments" to deities like Mother Earth are still performed today.

  8. Stop 8

    This convent is considered the oldest in South America and was once home to the tallest tower on the continent during the 17th century. To this day, it remains an active convent, featuring an impressive facade and a magnificent, gilded main altar.

    We will enjoy a panoramic view of this historic landmark from our vehicle as we begin the journey back to your accommodation.

    Before arriving here, we will stroll along Ancash Street to visit the ‘Happy Inka Market,’ where you’ll admire local artwork, traditional indigenous carvings, and colorful textiles. This is also a great opportunity to purchase a meaningful souvenir from your time in Lima.
