Miraflores and the historic centre

Hotel pickup takes you to the clifftops of Miraflores, the adobe pyramid of Huaca Pucllana, El Olivar and the Plaza Mayor, with small tastings along the way and pisco at the end. It is a sightseeing tour, not a food tour, so book it for the sights and pair it with one of the food tours.

Miraflores and Historic Centre Sightseeing Tour

About this experience

This is a sightseeing tour first. The price covers hotel pickup and return, shared transport, a full-time guide, entry to the Church of Santo Domingo and the BCR museum from Tuesday to Sunday, food tastings and a drone video of your group. The food is a side dish: native potatoes with papa a la huancaína and papa con ocopa at Huaca Pucllana, an ice cream, and a pisco and cocktail tasting at the end. For a proper meal, pair it with the Barranco food tour on another day. You can cancel free up to 24 hours before.

The route starts at Love Park in Miraflores, with the sculpture El Beso and views over the Pacific, where the operator films a drone video, weather permitting. Then come a panoramic visit to Huaca Pucllana with the tasting, a short walk among the old olive trees of El Olivar, and the drive to the historic centre. There you walk the Plaza Mayor with the Cathedral, the Government Palace and City Hall from outside, visit the Central Reserve Bank museum when it is open, and go inside Santo Domingo to hear about Santa Rosa de Lima and San Martín de Porres. Optional time at a craft market comes before the pisco.

It has 4.9 stars from 11 reviews. Groups run up to 20. Bottled water and other museum fees are not included, and the operator asks you to bring comfortable shoes, a camera, sunscreen and cash. Guests praise the punctual pickup and name Ronald and Daphna as guides.

Tips before you book

  • Plan your meals separately. The tastings here are small, and a food tour on another day fills the gap.
  • Bring water and some cash. Bottled water is not included.
  • Book Tuesday to Sunday if you want the BCR museum. It is not part of the Monday tour.
  • Our guide to choosing a Lima food tour helps you pick the food half of your trip.
