DAY 2 LIMA CITY TOUR+LARCO MUSEUM
The first stop on our Lima city tour is Huaca Puccllana , a huge archaeological site in
Miraflores ,one of the Lima’s most popular districts. Huaca Pucllana as an important
ceremonial and administrative center of the Lima culture, which developed along this
part of the Peruvian Coast between 200 AD and 700 AD.This sacred place was built
from seven staggered platforms surrounded by a plaza and large walls. It’s a very
impressive site, and certainly not what you expect to find in lively Miraflores! After
exploring Huaca Pucllana with your bilingual guide, we’ll go to the beautiful Plaza de
Armas (Lima’s main square) which is surrounded by impressive colonial and
Republican-era building, many of which have ornate Wooden balconies. Some of Peru’s
most important buildings surround the square, including the Government Palace,
Cathedral of Lima,Archbishop’s Palace of Lima ,the Municipal Palace and the Palace of
the Union.
We’ll visit the Cathedral of Lima ,which was completed in 1649.It’s a huge structure,
with a large central nave and 14 side chapels. Inside,we’ll see the sculptures and
painting that decorate the interior. The cathedral is also home to the tomb of the
conquistador Francisco Pizarro.Next we’ll walk one block to the Convent of Santo
Domingo. Founded in the 1530s and completed in 1766,it is one of the most important
religious buildings in Peru ,and its large bell tower is a landmark in the historic center of
Lima. As we walk around the interior of the convent, we’ll see the beautiful Sevillian
azulejos (ceramic tiles) that decorate the walls, dating from 1604 and 1606.There is
also a series of paintings that present passages of the life of Saint Dominic, the founder
of the Dominican order, which date to around 1608.
Next we’ll head to the private Larco Museum, which is one of the best museums in the
country. Here you can see a wide range of pre-Columbian art and artefacts,including
ceramics,textiles,metalwork and more. The museum is most famous,however,for its
incredible -and quite X-rated-gallery of pre -Columbian erotic pottery. These ceramics
display sexual acts between men and women, as well as homosexual acts, in at times
explicit detail and in various postures. At the end of the Larco Museum tour, we will
return to your hotel.

make furniture and even serving as food, as the tip of the reed can be eaten. The
islands are anchored to the bed of the lake, which is only 4m below the surface, to stop
them from floating away. The islands have developed somewhat in recent years, and

Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Weaving is carried on
