Touring its streets is going through its collective memory; daring to know it is submerging in the meanders of tradition; getting inside it is an invitation for adventure through its history.

Around it, regional Lima amazes travelers with an attractive diversity of restless and wonderful landscapes. In order to tour them all you need to do is adventure yourself for a few days across the valleys scattered on the outskirts of the capital city.
