Historic Center of Lima, Santo Domingo Convent, and Larco Museum

Conoce más de la historia de Lima, una ciudad llena de encanto y tradición. Fundada en 1535 por Francisco Pizarro, Lima fue bautizada como «La Ciudad de los Reyes» por su importancia política y cultural durante el Virreinato del Perú.

Discover the Historic Center of the city, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991. Stroll through its streets filled with beautiful churches, convents, and mansions that preserve the tradition of Spanish American Baroque, offering a glimpse into the architectural and urban development of the old Spanish colonial city. Visit iconic landmarks like the “Convent of Santo Domingo,” featuring its historic library, serene gardens, and relics of three Peruvian saints.

Finally, visit the renowned Larco Museum, founded in 1926 by Rafael Larco Hoyle. The museum houses an extensive collection of pre-Columbian art, particularly known for its impressive collection of ceramics, textiles, and metallurgical objects, including gold and silver, from various ancient cultures of Peru, such as the Moche, Nazca, Chimú, and Inca.
