See availability →A Lima city tour with Larco Museum and Huaca Pucllana: about four hours with a bilingual guide, skip-the-line entry, tickets and hotel transfers.
This Lima city tour with Larco Museum and Huaca Pucllana is a half-day look at the capital's ancient past, in a small group with a professional bilingual guide (English and Spanish). It lasts about four hours, with pickup and drop-off at your hotel and a driver in between.
The first stop is Huaca Pucllana, an adobe pyramid some 1,500 years old, right in the middle of modern Miraflores. Your guide covers Lima's early civilizations and the ceremonial role of the place.
You then travel to the Larco Museum, set in an 18th-century colonial mansion:
- pre-Columbian ceramics
- textiles
- gold and silver objects
- the famous erotic pottery collection
All the way, the commentary covers Peru's ancient cultures, religious beliefs and artistic expression. Skip-the-line access and the tickets to both sites are included, so you move from one visit to the next without queuing or paying at the door. The pace is relaxed, and the day gives you a clear picture of how Lima's pre-Columbian and colonial layers fit together. Meals, drinks, travel insurance, personal expenses and airport pickup are not.
