Lima South: Visit Pyramids, a Vibrant Wharf, & Bohemian Barranco
This five-hour tour will give you the opportunity to escape Lima for just a few hours and see the sights to the south of Lima. Watch as the local fishermen bring in their catch or repair their colorful vessels alongside of the Chorrillos Bay. Peruse a sea-side fish market and take in the views of the beautiful Costa Verde from atop the Morro Solar. Learn of Lima's largest Incan ceremonial complex and hike up a centuries old pyramid to observe where the Andes meet the Pacific. Although this is the perfect mix of local culture, archaeological history, and diverse countryside, you can make it even better by choosing the Dancing Horses Option. Add on a tour to a local hacienda and experience the unique Peruvian El Paso Horse along with typical dances and a deliciously prepared garden lunch. This option is great for children and adults alike with opportunities to ride the horses and snap memorable photos. If you have a full day, this is the one to choose!

What's included in Lima South: Visit Pyramids, a Vibrant Wharf, & Bohemian Barranco
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Chorrillos
Our first stop will be to the largest fish market in Lima. If you want to walk among the locals, this is a great place to do so! See the local fishermen mending their nets and restoring their little boats, hear their stories and experience a bit of the sea. A great opportunity to feed the pelicans in the Chorrillos Bay is also available for those with children or who would enjoy interacting with wildlife.
Morro Solar
Sitting at roughly 251 meters above sea level, you will get a wonderful view of the Pacific Coastline, Chorrillos Bay and the Shanty towns below. As we descend the Morro we will check to see if the famous "Fraile" is out. If so we will watch this monk jump from the immense seaside cliffs into the crashing waves below. Often overlooked on other tours, this can be the highlight of ours!
Pachacamac Ruins
Head South down the Pan-American highway toward Lima's largest pre-Colombian archaeological site, the Ruins at Pachacamac. The complex, which extends for over 500 hectares, was once a very significant ceremonial site for the late Incan Empire. As you tour with a local guide you will have the opportunity to stretch out your legs a bit with a 20–30-minute hike up to the Temple of the Sun; allowing for some breath-taking views of the Lurín Valley and Pacific Ocean below (for those who prefer a tour with minimal walking you can admire the view of the temple from our private transportation.)
