Lima as a Local
Today’s walking tour begins at the Miraflores market, a lively hub of Peruvian produce. Learn about the country’s diverse crops, including potatoes, corn, and exotic fruits, and sample coca leaves, a cultural staple. Next, take the Metropolitano public bus to the historic center, a key area since the 16th century, first as an indigenous settlement and later as home to Lima’s elite. Stroll past evolving architectural styles, including intricate interior balconies, and visit Plaza San Martín, where you can try traditional Peruvian pastries. The tour continues to the main square, a focal point of Lima’s past, with a stop at the ChocoMuseum to learn about chocolate making and enjoy a tasting. Finish at Cordano Bar with a glass of Chicha Morada, a traditional purple corn drink. You can choose to return to Miraflores or continue exploring the historic center at your own pace.
