Tour the capital of Peru, the legendary "City of the Kings" on a moderate, full-day tour that captures the romance and history of this fascinating region. Begin with a visit to the Gold Museum, which greets you with 20,000 different items of Incan gold from idols, crowns, and scepters to filigree figures, jewelry and more. Next, visit the Cathedral of Lima where Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro was laid to rest. It's located in the Plaza Mayor, part of a UNSECO World Heritage Site! The Santo Domingo Convent with its stunning neoclassical architecture is sure to pique your interest. After a lunch of "criollo" cuisine at a local restaurant, you can get swept up in the glow of romantic love at the Parque del Amor overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Then shop at the Indian Market for Peruvian knitwear, ceramics and jewelry before returning to the pier.

Special Notes:

Flash photography is not permitted within the interiors of the church or convent. Shorts, tank tops and sports shoes are inappropriate attire for visiting the cathedral.

The Cathedral is closed on Saturdays in the afternoon, on Sundays and religious holidays. The tour will instead visit Casa Aliaga.
