The first day is an arrival day and no activities are planned so that you can arrive at any time. When you arrive at Lima airport, our representative waits for you holding a sheet with your name and takes you to your hotel.
The capital of Lima is also known as the "City of the Kings" as it was founded by Francisco Pizarro on the Day of the Three Kings (Epiphany) in 1535! The Plaza de Armas (main square) is the heart of old Lima. There you can find the Cathedral, Governmental Palace and Archbishop´s Palace.
Lima is a city with extraordinary museums from pre-Incan, Incan and Colonial artifacts. Definitely worth a visit.
