About Lima Historic Center

Lima's Historic Center, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the colonial heart of Peru's capital city. Founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535, the center features grand plazas, baroque churches, and ornate Republican-era mansions along streets that have witnessed nearly 500 years of history. The Plaza Mayor anchors the district with the Government Palace, Lima Cathedral, and the Archbishop's Palace surrounding it. Nearby, the San Francisco Monastery houses famous catacombs, while Jiron de la Union pedestrian street connects to the Plaza San Martin. The Historic Center has undergone significant restoration and today offers excellent museums, traditional restaurants, and a vibrant urban atmosphere.

Must-See Attractions:

Plaza Mayor with Lima Cathedral, Government Palace, and colonial arcades

San Francisco Monastery and its underground catacombs housing thousands of bones

Jiron de la Union — Lima's main pedestrian shopping street connecting the two main plazas

Chinatown (Barrio Chino) with authentic chifa restaurants blending Chinese-Peruvian cuisine

Casa de Aliaga — the oldest continuously occupied residence in the Americas, dating to 1535

Travel Tips & Information

Helpful advice for your transfer

Avoid Lima Rush Hour

Aim to arrive in Lima before 5:00 PM or after 9:00 PM. The southern entrance to Lima through Villa El Salvador experiences severe traffic during evening rush hour, which can add over an hour to your journey.

Request an Airport Drop-Off

If you have an evening flight from Lima, you can transfer directly from Chincha to Jorge Chavez Airport. Allow at least 5 hours total to account for the drive plus airport check-in time.

Stock Up on Pisco

Buy your pisco and wine directly from Chincha bodegas before departing — prices are much lower than in Lima. Our vehicles have space for bottles purchased during your visit.

Enjoy a Comfort Stop

The highway has clean service stations with restrooms and snack shops. Your driver will offer a stop approximately halfway, which is a good chance to stretch your legs.
