Itinerary

Historic Center of Lima

Experience the colonial charm of Lima in its magnificent Historic Center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in 1535 as the “City of Kings,” the Peruvian capital preserves architectural gems such as the Plaza Mayor, the impressive Cathedral, the Archbishop’s Palace, the Church of Santo Domingo, and the renowned San Francisco Convent.

Casa Aliaga

Explore one of Lima’s oldest colonial residences, located in the heart of the Historic Center. Casa Aliaga has been rebuilt and remodeled over nearly five centuries, evolving alongside the city. Its architecture is a fascinating testament to layered styles—Renaissance, Mannerist, Baroque, and Neoclassical—that reflect changing fashions and the earthquakes that have shaped its history.

Casa O’Higgins

Visit this historic colonial mansion, now a cultural center managed by the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. Casa O’Higgins is dedicated to preserving the memory of Bernardo O’Higgins, a hero of South American independence, offering a rich experience that connects past and present in the heart of Lima.

Casa Fernandini

An elegant early 20th-century residence, Casa Fernandini is renowned for its refined eclectic style. It stands as a testament to Lima’s architectural splendor of the era, blending classical and modern influences in a unique and sophisticated setting.
