We
begin with the departure from centrally located hotels to go visit the bohemian
district of Barranco, a neighborhood full of cultural galleries, coffee shops,
and street arts, and with beautiful republican architecture. We will visit the Main
Square, and the Puente de los Suspiros (Bridge of Sighs), when we are going to
appreciate the pathway known as Bajada de Baños.
Then,
we will visit the Archaeological Sanctuary of Pachacamac, just 30 kms.
south of Lima. It was built in adobe with view to the sea and the Lurin river
valley. It was a pilgrimage site for many cultures that
developed in ancient Peru. Upon arrival of the Incas, the complex was adapted
to become an administrative center, respecting and adapting the local
constructions.
You can
find there the Temple of the Sun, the Acllahuasi, the Palace of Taurichumbi,
and the Pilgrimage Plaza, among others. We will also visit the Site Museum
to get a better insight and appreciate the salvaged remnants of the area.
The
tour ends with the return of each passenger to the selected hotels.
