Discover the heritage and vibrancy of Callao on a 3.75-hour adventure that begins with a scenic 30-minute drive to Real Felipe Fortress, a stronghold constructed in the 18th century as a powerful defense against pirates and foreign invaders. Today, it serves as a museum that brings Peru's military history to life and offers a glimpse into Callao's rich maritime past. Next, venture into Monumental Callao, a hub for contemporary art and social transformation, centered on the Ronald Building, now called Casa Fugaz. Once a modest district, it has evolved into a vibrant cultural scene, renowned for its street art and public spaces. As you explore the heart of Callao's historic district, wander through emblematic landmarks, including Plaza Grau, Plaza Matriz and Plaza Gálvez. These streets are alive with music, graffiti and cafés, blending the old and new to reflect the district's living culture. Return to port after this fascinating day.
