Embark on a 5.5-hour journey through art, history and inspiration in Barranco, Lima's most artistic district. Begin with an 80-minute motorcoach drive to the Pedro de Osma Museum, a hidden gem housed in an opulent mansion from 1906. Inside, you'll discover a private collection of colonial and republican art, filled with exquisite paintings, sculptures and furniture that offer a glimpse into Peru's rich artistic legacy. Continue to Barranco's Main Square to photograph the main church and the stunning colonial architecture before a short stroll to the Puente de los Suspiros, the Bridge of Sighs. Next, visit the private home and gallery of Victor Delfín, a world-renowned artist famous for creating "El Beso" (The Kiss) sculpture in Lima's Park of Love. Peruse an array of his imaginative works displayed throughout the house and garden. Meet Victor Delfín himself who will share fascinating stories over a cocktail. Return with memories of Lima's creative district.
