Larco Museum.- This pre-Columbian Museum of Art is located in Pueblo Libre District of Lima.  You’ll find showcases chronological galleries full of 5,000 years of Peruvian pre-Columbian history.  It has a Gold and Silver Gallery with the largest collection of jewelry used by important rulers of pre-Columbian Peru.  You’ll see collections of crowns, earrings, nose ornaments, garments, masks and vases, finely wrought in gold and decorated with semi-precious stones.  Our ancient cultures will represent their daily lives in ceramics and Larco Museum holds the world’s largest collection of erotic ceramics.  In general, this interesting Museum holds around 15,000 pieces of ceramics.

Callao Monumental.- Callao is located on the west side of Lima and is the Constitutional Province of Lima.  It’s the biggest and the main Port in Peru. Even the Jorge Chávez International Airport, the main airport in Peru, is located in Callao.

When gold and silver were shipped by the Spanish conquerors from the Inca Empire, it was routed from the Port.  And for that reason, it was frequently assaulted by corsairs, pirates and others.

Full Day Tour

We’ll pick you up at 09:00 am from your hotel and will head west to Larco Museum.  You’ll see the regular museum, the erotic museum and the beautiful gardens.  It usually takes about two hours to cover all the collections.

Next, we’ll head to Callao and start with the visit to Royal Philippe Fort built in 1747 and played a key role in the colonization, because it helped to protect Callao from pirates and other attackers.  It also helped to fight and win the battle of May 2nd, 1866 against Spain.

At 01:00 pm, we’ll go to La Punta, a seaside town, and take lunch with seafood, fish or steak.  This beautiful town is known for being very safe because it has one entrance and one exit only and the Police Department is located just beside the exit road. We’ll walk around and take some photos of its clean and well-maintained streets.

When finished touring in La Punta, we will drive back and make a stop at The Ronald Building, a neoclassical-style building five stories high. Is built with reinforced concrete and steel beams, with Italian marble and mosaics, cedarwood and glass with a metallic and striated structures.  The interior of this building has a passage known as Passage Ronald, whose interior is decorated with marble, as well as busts of figures of art and science.  And for that reason, the Ronald Building has been declared a historical monument.

This was our last stop and we’ll drive back to your hotel to arrive around 05:00 pm.
