- Museo Convento San Francisco y Catacumbas - Known in English as the St. Francis Monastery, this church and convent were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1991. It features a renowned library with approximately 25,000 antique texts, and the catacombs beneath are believed to hold the remains of a similar number of people. Visitors can explore these once-hidden passages and view the uniquely displayed remains of Lima’s early inhabitants.
- Museo Larco - Situated on a seventh-century pyramid, this vice-royal mansion is a must-see, with its meticulously maintained gardens. Visitors will find themselves photographing the grounds as much as the relics inside. This part of the tour includes fascinating history, a collection of 45,000 antiquities, and an intriguing erotic collection (this room can be omitted if touring with young children.)
Afterwards, enjoy a delightful lunch surrounded by colorful gardens on the museum cafe’s outdoor patio.
