5.00Walking through old town. Highlight was the church and catacombs. JJ was our guide and host. He was friendly, informative and helped us learn and explore the history and splendor of Lima - Peru’s capital city. The Peruvian Churro was incredible. The Pisco tasting was good (I don’t drink). But the Franciscan Church - amazing! The art, the moorish influence, the library, the paintings, the wooden dome, the catacombs… Amazing experience! Thank you JJ - highly recommend for families and those interested in learning about the culture, history and experience wonderful Peru!
Amazing experience!
