Tour Location

Uncover Lima's magical nighttime allure on our Lima Night Tour. Traverse iconic landmarks and discover hidden gems, all awash under the city's enchanting evening lights. A stunning exploration of culture and history, illuminated.

Miraflores, although a modern, upscale district, has a rich history dating back thousands of years. The district is home to the Huaca Pucllana, a great adobe and clay pyramid built by the Lima culture around 500 AD. Today, it's a vibrant area known for its beautiful parks, modern amenities, and breathtaking cliff-top views of the Pacific Ocean. The Malecon boardwalk and Parque del Amor are two of its most renowned features, blending natural beauty and a sense of modernity.

Transitioning to the heart of the city, the Historic Center of Lima was established in 1535 by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro. It's the birthplace of the city and a living testament to Lima's rich colonial history. The Historic Center is peppered with a myriad of architectural gems such as the Government Palace, the Cathedral of Lima, and numerous baroque churches. These buildings, many dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, reflect the grandeur of Spanish colonial architecture and the city's important role as the capital of the Spanish Viceroyalty in South America.

Finally, our journey takes us to Parque de la Reserva. This park, built in the 1920s, was named in honor of a group of Peruvian reservists who fought in a pivotal battle of the War of the Pacific. In the 21st century, the park underwent a major transformation with the addition of the Magic Water Circuit, a complex of 13 illuminated fountains that hold the Guinness Record for the largest fountain complex in the world. The Magic Water Circuit is a testament to Lima's continual evolution, blending its historical roots with a modern and dynamic spirit.

Each of these places tells a part of Lima's historical story, showcasing its journey from an ancient civilization, through colonial times, and into a modern metropolis. Through this Night Photo Tour, you'll have the opportunity to not only capture stunning photos, but also delve into Lima's rich and captivating history.
