Itinerary

1
Stop 1
The first stop of the day is the La Punta peninsula of Callao: a true hidden gem, that not many tourists discover during their stay in Lima. An upscale neighbourhood with rocky beaches, seaside mansions and spectacular views, La Punta has a more distinctly Peruvian character than other upscale areas of Lima.

Stop 2
The second stop is just a short drive away: the historic centre of Callao. You'll explore its colourful streets with colonial architecture and art on a walking tour of about 1.5 hour. The guide will show you around the main historic places, such as Fort Real Felipe, Plaza Grau, Plaza Matriz, Plaza Gálvez and the port. On the walk, you'll also discover some of the more than 600 murals painted by local and international street artists. There are also many art galleries and studios of both national and international artists around for those that are interested in more conventional modern art. In the meantime, the guide will tell you more about the impressive transformation of this part of Callao and the impact it has had on this community.
