Itinerary

Lima
Day 1: Arrival in Lima
Welcome to Peru! After arriving in Lima, make the short transfer to your hotel. You’ll touch down later in the evening, so use the rest of your day to settle into your room, grab a bite to eat, catch up on sleep, and look forward to the rest of your journey.
Day 2: Sightseeing tour of Lima
Included meals: Breakfast, Tasting, Welcome dinner
With its glimmering skylines and UNESCO-recognized historic quarters, the coastal city of Lima’s more than earned its nickname of the Pearl of the Pacific. Today, set out on a walking tour with your group to take it all in.
- Start at the Plaza de Armas, the historic cradle and modern heart of Lima. Stroll through this manicured plaza, surrounded by gorgeous yolk-yellow buildings, and view a pair of local icons: the Baroque Lima Metropolitan Cathedral and the Neoclassical Municipal Palace.
- Enter the Huaca Pucllana archaeological site. Now surrounded by the buzzing Miraflores district, this adobe-and-clay pyramid was erected in the sixth century—predating the Inca Empire by almost 1,000 years.
- Head toward the coast to the Parque del Amor—Love Park—and gaze at the mighty Pacific Ocean as you amble down its boardwalk.
- Wrap up with a walk through the bohemian Barranco district, where artists, musicians, and other creatives ply their trades. Stop to sample coffees and alfajores—a delectable dessert of rich dulce de leche sandwiched between two shortbread cookies and dusted with powdered sugar.
Enjoy a free afternoon in Lima relaxing from your day of sightseeing.
Tonight, gather with your Tour Director and fellow group members at a mixer before enjoying a welcome dinner, served with beer or wine.
