Itinerary

Stop 1
Your guide will pick you up from your hotel at 10am (starting time can be changed if you prefer) and take you to one of Lima’s most traditional and colorful communities, the fishing district of Chorrillos. Start your day with a visit to its picturesque seafood market and pier, where local fishermen sell their catch of the day and repair fishing nets and boats for their next adventure offshore. They will share their experiences and views on today’s challenges of artisanal fishing and our local guide will also show you the wide variety of fish, shellfish and other types of seafood that have added incredible nutritious value to the diets of ancient and modern Peruvians. On most days, we’ll also be able to take a short boat ride to have a better view of Lima’s coastline in a small artisanal boat, made by a local boat builder, and learn more about the vast biodiversity of this side of the Pacific.

Next, we’ll walk through the old streets of Chorrillos, while your guide explains the importance of this town in the history of Peru.

Stop 3
For lunch, we will take you to the small family restaurant of one of the most traditional families in town, who are preserving traditions from the first Spanish Peruvian settlers, locally known as “Criollos” whose culture has blended for more than two centuries with the indigenous, African and Asian traditions to create the unique coastal culture of Peru. They practice different “creole” traditions that were passed on from their ancestors to the next generations in music, food, and other various cultural expressions. Ceviche, the Peruvian national dish, will be the star of our table; you will learn why all Peruvians are so proud of this delicious seafood dish.

After lunch, we will continue our tour toward the iconic hills of Chorrillos known as Morro Solar, a big cluster of rock formations facing the Pacific Ocean. Except for the best view of Lima and its coast, it is also a very important place in Peru and Lima's history. Your guide will tell you all about this. For instance, that it was once the site of an important 19th-century battle, which shaped the history of modern Peru. We will leave Chorrillos after enjoying the amazing view from the Morro Solar and will be back at your hotel at around 2:30 pm.
