Your hotel in Lima

As soon as you have put down your suitcases, set off to discover the city centre and old Lima, full of sensations. Wander the streets of the capital on foot to reach the historic centre and the famous Plaza de Armas or Plaza Mayor, where a sumptuous fountain stands proudly amid imposing buildings. As the story goes, it was on this very spot that the city was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro. The Government Palace or Palacio de Gobierno is a must-see, if only to watch the changing of the guard.

Continue your journey with the Basilica and Monastery of San Francisco. True havens of peace, these religious buildings also house sublime jewels, works of art, gilded altars and massive books. Harry Potter fans are invited to visit the monastery library for a moment of pure magic, before going down into the catacombs. The mysterious darkness adds even more thrills. Enter Lima's history through the back door at the pyramid in Miraflores, the Huaca Pucllana. While the ancient ruins are a must, the adjacent restaurant offers the chance to savour local specialities in the heart of an ultra-trendy district.

Finally, don't hesitate to stop at one of the city's museums, such as the Larco Museum, which houses works of art from the pre-Columbian period, the Museo Larco, better known for its mummies and erotic works of art, or the Museo Taurino dedicated to bullfighting in Lima. The Parque de la Reserva will bring a touch of freshness and magic to your stay with more than 13 fountains and the legendary "Magic Water Circuit". By day or by night, the show is striking and "refreshing"! It is not unusual to get sprinkled with a few drops of water!
