Itinerary
- The journey begins at key redemption points like Larcomar or Avenida Diagonal. You’ll perform a transition into the heart of Miraflores, gaining an initial window into the landscape of Huaca Pucllana and the Bicentennial Park. The Yellow Route expands your perspective into the Historic Center, reaching its culminating point at Plaza San Martin and the Alameda Chabuca Granda, where you can witness neocolonial architecture and taste traditional picarones.

You’ll perform a transition to the Magic Water Circuit, witnessing the vertical standard of the world's largest fountain complex. This session reaches its culminating point at the Exhibition Park (Parque de la Exposición), providing a 10/10 vertical standard of cultural enrichment amidst green areas, ponds, and art museums.
Expect a spectacular, well-organized, and deeply "flexible" immersion into Lima’s distinct neighborhoods. The transition from the "scenic sea views" of the coast to the "energy and life" of the central plazas is managed by bilingual guides, ensuring that every guest—from families with strollers to solo explorers—remains informed. The environment is one of monumental variety, where the combination of free Wi-Fi and the ability to "raise and fall" during the day provides a higher vertical standard of comfort. Note that for families, infants must sit on laps during the bus transit.
