Highlights
On this tour of Callao, you'll explore two different areas of the often-overlooked smaller twin city of Lima. First, you'll visit the upscale La Punta neighbourhood, which is located on a peninsula with rocky beaches and neo-colonial and Bauhaus mansions. The next stop is the historic centre of Callao, an interesting mix of colonial architecture, modern art and professional street art.
It is thanks to this contemporary art that Callao's historic centre has transformed from a crime-ridden and dilapidated area into a colourful and safe neighbourhood. Modern art and street art have not only revived the neighbourhood but also the local economy and community.
This tour also includes a cultural and local experience: a delicious lunch at a local restaurant as well as a graffiti workshop by a local street artist.
