In the company of Alejandro Lira, a distinguished Peruvian historian, discover Lima’s history, which began to take shape over three thousand years ago when ancient civilizations built important archaeological centers that we can still visit today. One of them is the Huaca Pucllana, the starting point of your journey through the capital.
Continue exploring the worldview and history of Ancient Peru through more than thirty-five thousand textiles, ceramics, gold and silver objects in the Larco Museum, an eighteenth-century viceregal house considered one of the best museums in the world.
You will go forward in time to the viceregal era as we visit the historic center of Lima. A sample of almost three centuries of Spanish conquest can be seen in its imposing colonial architecture. It has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
”Lima is the oldest city in all of America, from Patagonia to Alaska. It was South America’s capital until 1700, and its oldest urban ruins are over five thousand years old. There is no such city outside Mesopotamia and Egypt.”
– Alejandro Lira.
