Your sightseeing tour explores Miraflores and San Isidro, the modern districts of Lima, as well as its historic center, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical movements also reached Peru, and a handful of well-preserved buildings offer a glimpse of the blend of past and present that characterizes the capital. One of the best examples, included in our tour, is the Cathedral (16th century), which contains the remains of the Spanish conqueror Pizarro. The next stop is San Francisco, the city’s most visited church (1674). Its underground tunnels lead to catacombs that served as a cemetery until 1808 and still contain bones and skulls.

Pachacámac, a sacred pre-Hispanic refuge where the sun shines upon ancient stone structures and the desert sand tells stories of a vibrant past, invites visitors to explore its rich cultural and spiritual heritage. Meanwhile, the Peruvian Paso Horse, known for its smooth gait and elegance, reflects the country's equestrian traditions.

Lima was the most important viceroyal capital in Spanish America. Established as the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru in 1542, it served as a crucial political, economic, and cultural center throughout the viceroyal period. Despite losing territory to other viceroyalties over time, Lima remained a key hub for trade and governance, significantly influencing the development of South America.

Admire the historic centre of Lima, starting with the impressive Plaza Mayor and Plaza San Martin, where diverse architecture captivates visitors. Your guide will share insights into the city's architectural heritage before visiting the Santo Domingo Monastery, home to the oldest carved choir stalls in Lima and the site of South America's first university, San Marcos University, founded in 1551. Next, visit Casa Aliaga, the oldest viceroyal house in Latin America, showcasing life in Lima from the 16th to 18th centuries, before enjoying lunch at Casa Tambo, a historic restaurant that blends authentic Peruvian cuisine with Lima’s rich history.

Grapes have not only been fundamental to produce wine but have also influenced Peruvian gastronomy. Pisco, an eau-de-vie made from grapes, is considered Peru’s national drink. Its production originated as a response to the restrictions imposed by the Spanish crown on Peruvian wine, leading local producers to distil their wine to create pisco.  

Join a guided tour of the vineyard, where you'll learn about the winemaking process and the history of viticulture in the region. Participate in a tasting session of exquisite wines and piscos produced on-site.  

Take part in a workshop that showcases traditional winemaking techniques, including grape harvesting and fermentation.
