Highlights
- Plaza de Armas (Plaza Mayor) - You will visit the main square where the Government Palace, the Cathedral (main seat of the Catholic Church), the Archbishop’s Palace and the Municipality of Lima are located.
- Puente de Piedra - It is the oldest bridge in the city of Lima, as it was built in 1610. Nearby was the church of the Virgen de los Desamparados and currently the Church of the Rosary, considered the smallest in Peru, is still nearby.
- Basilica y Monasterio de Santo Domingo - The oldest in Lima and one of the most sacred places in the city. Santa Rosa de Lima and San Martín de Porras are buried here. We will visit its beautiful cloister, library and its impressive choir.
- Church and Sanctuary of Saint Rose of Lima - Place where the Lima saint was born and which can still be visited. We will see his hermitage, his room, the garden and the well where his devotees deposit the letters they write to him.
- Casa San Martin de Porres - House of the first Afro-Peruvian considered a saint. We will get to know the space where he was born, his little chapel and the social work that today bears his name and supports the poor.
- Iglesia de las Nazarenas - It is one of the most important religious places in Lima since there is the true image of the Lord of Miracles, one of the most important devotions in Peru. In the month of October, its festival is celebrated with one of the largest processions in the world.

Location
Lima Cathedral
Jirón Carabaya
You will recognize me because I usually wear a backpack or bag, glasses and, sometimes, a scarf. If access to the cathedral door is closed, I will wait for you in front, on the corner where the EL CHINITO sandwich shop is.
