Description
Join me on this live-streamed, interactive online experience to explore Lima from the comfort of your own home!
We will begin our virtual tour at the Church of San Francisco, which is famous for its subterranean crypts known as Catacombs. We will then start our walk, passing by old and elegant buildings from the eighteenth and nineteenth century such as the Railway Station, Government Palace, the City Hall and the Main Cathedral of the country to reach the beautiful Main Square where this city was founded on January 18th, 1535. Next, we shall continue our exploration through traditional streets like the Unión Street and Ucayali Street, where Limeños can find a diverse range of things for reasonable prices and even tourists can find good restaurants, electronic items and nice vintage hotels.
Our last spot will be the main meeting point of locals, surrounded by pubs and restaurants set up in classical buildings from the nineteenth century: the San Martin Plaza. This is a point of political and social protests as well as a free zone with good vibes on offer.
I look forward to virtually accompanying you around Lima soon!

Hola! I have been an official tour guide in Lima since 2010. I studied Art, which equipped me with better comprehension and knowledge of different artistic treasures that Lima has. Currently, I am studying Sustainable Tourism. My purpose is to share my understanding of our old indigenous temples in regular touristic itineraries for foreigners and locals.

We enjoyed the tour of Lima's historic area. The interesting manner in which Milagros explained about the historical buildings as well as the Lima's history made it interesting. She conducted the tour in an unhurried manner stopping to answer our questions at times. Those interested in history, esp. in seeing and knowing about World Heritage sites would find this tour very interesting. We would rate Milagros very highly as our tour guide.
