Four days pairing the coastal districts of Lima with the heritage and urban art of Callao.
A two-hour bike tour rides through Miraflores and Barranco, with the boardwalk over the Pacific and the city's bohemian quarter. One day is given to Callao Monumental: the old port, cradle of salsa dura, with the Real Felipe fortress, the Grau, Matriz and Gálvez squares, the old Ronald building and more than 60 murals by some of the world's finest artists. The bike ride can be replaced by the conventional Lima city tour. Accommodation is offered in 3-, 4- and 5-star categories.
