Lima, the City of Viceroys
More than 400 years ago, it was named after the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro. Today, that same city that emerged on the lands of the indigenous chief Taulichusco, is a metropolis of more than 9 million inhabitants, which proudly preserves its convents and colonial mansions, symbols of its ancient and noble tradition. For this reason, we have prepared this tour that will take us to the best sites of the capital.
