Most of Lima people would tell you: “Hey! Are you going to visit Callao?! Are you crazy?! It’s dangerous!!” And yes, it does have a bad reputation. However, sometimes people talk about places they’ve never been before. And guess what? We will take you to the “touristic” neighborhood of Callao, which is nicer, cleaner, and safer than Miraflores.
Forget your gringo hostel/hotel breakfast, and come to CALLAO with us! You will learn a lot of different topics we don’t cover in any of our other tours. You will learn about history, culture, nature, pirates, marines, narcotraffic, mafias, soccer, delicious SEA FOOD, all to the rhythm of salsa music from every corner of CALLAO. And we will end by having lunch together.
