Additional Information

On this tour of Callao, you’ll explore two different areas of the often-overlooked smaller twin city of Lima. First, you’ll visit the upscale La Punta neighbourhood, which is located on a peninsula with rocky beaches and colonial mansions. The next stop is the historic centre of Callao, an interesting mix of colonial architecture and modern art and professional street art.

It is thanks to this contemporary art that Callao’s historic centre has transformed from a crime-ridden and dilapidated area into a colourful and safe neighbourhood. Modern art and street art have not only revived the neighbourhood but also the local economy and community.

This tour also includes a cultural and local experience: a delicious lunch at a local restaurant as well as a graffiti workshop by a local street artist.

Callao if you have time - Our cruise ship docked in Callao and our schedule permitted us to take a tour of Callao before heading into Lima for 4 days. We found Alfredo to be an excellent guide - knowledgably, friendly and totally fluent in English. For a port city, Callao has a beautiful beach area and a historical old town. We also had a hands on lesson on graffiti art which was fun. Alfredo took us to a typical Peruvian restaurant where we had a delicious lunch. Highly recommend Alternative Peru for tours of Lima and vicinity.

The best tour ever - It was soo great! We have seen beautiful places, made great activities and met wonderful people. Whenever you are in Callao or Lima you must do this. Thank you so much Alfredo for this amazing wonderful day. We will never forget.

Graffiti/Culture Tour was amazing - We did a half day tour with Alfredo touring the murals/graffiti of Callao. It was amazing. We had the opportunity to make our own piece of art and were given a great little souvenir of it to take home. Alfredo was very accommodating, speaks fluent English and shared knowledge of Peru and the lifestyles of residents that we did not get on any of the other tours. Highly recommend it!
