Lima City Tour Half Day

Trip introduction

Lima is the capital of Peru and the largest city in the country, being the capital city the place has many places to see and visit, such as the half-day City Tour, which is a tour of the main attractions of the city, as well as also through the main traditional neighborhoods.

Capital Lima is also known as the city of kings and this name dates back to colonial times since it was given during the time of the conquest by the conquistador Francisco Pizarro, for this reason much of the historic center of the city still maintains many colonial-style buildings so we can say that part of its history still lives intact.
