Historical Lima - I recommend it 100%. Our guide, since she picked us up at the hotel, kept telling us about the curiosities of Lima, historical facts. Now I know and approve that Pisco sour is purely Peruvian. We did a pisco tasting, ate churros and visited the catacomb museum, an interesting place, I recommend not skipping this visit to Lima. Many thanks to our guide
