Highlights
- San Pedro Church (Iglesia de San Pedro) - The Historic Center of Lima is very highlighted by its colonial houses and balconies of mudejar style, therefore we began this journey appreciating the most prominent. Then we will go to the Church of San Pedro, temple of the Jesuits and the Convent of San Francisco, gem of colonial architecture dating from 1546; we revisit its main cloister decorated with Sevillian tiles of the XVII century, the Sacristy with canvases of Rivera and Zurbarán and the Catacombs (underground crypts of the colonial time).

If you are visiting Lima, this churches and balconies tour is a must! - Our first day in Lima, we enjoyed a half-day tour of the city's gorgeous churches and balconies. Thanks to our outstanding guide, Ursula, we learned so much about the fascinating history and culture of this amazing city. We felt the tour was extensive and included the most important churches and exquisite balconies in the city. Absolutely an outstanding way to view Lima through a unique and very focused perspective. Highly recommended!
