Hear tales of presidential intrigue, revolutionary plots, and the daily ceremonies that continue ancient traditions today.

Stand where Spanish conquistadors first claimed this land and Inca rulers once held court, at Peru's most significant gathering place. Your audio companion unveils the plaza's transformation from ceremonial ground to colonial showcase, the secret meaning behind the fountain's intricate design, and why this square became the template for Spanish colonial planning across the Americas.

Uncover the spiritual mysteries of Lima's most enigmatic religious complex, where Saint Rose of Lima and Saint Martin de Porres walked these very cloisters centuries ago. Your audio experience reveals the monastery's role as a centre of learning and mysticism, and the miracles attributed to its resident saints. Discover the intricate Moorish-influenced tilework and libraries holding manuscripts that survived the Spanish Inquisition. Stories of religious persecution, scientific discovery, and the daily devotion of monks bring this beacon of colonial Lima to life.

Discover the methods used to preserve these remains and the spiritual significance behind their geometric arrangement. Learn how the catacombs doubled as secret meeting places and enduring symbols of eternal life, with gripping stories about the merchants and servants whose bones line these walls.

Immerse yourself in Peru's most comprehensive artistic journey, where pre-Columbian masterpieces converse with contemporary works inside a stunning neoclassical palace. Your audio guide unveils the connections between ancient indigenous art and modern Peruvian creativity, and the fascinating stories behind the museum's most prized pieces — from textiles that survived Spanish conquest to paintings that challenged colonial convention.

Explore Peru's most comprehensive historical narrative, where artefacts spanning 15,000 years tell the complete story of human civilisation in this remarkable land. Your audio guide traces the connections between Peru's diverse cultures, from the earliest hunter-gatherers to the sophisticated Inca empire, and each civilisation's contribution to the next. Discover the archaeological detective work — and the expeditions that risked everything — behind these treasures, along with the hidden meaning behind ceremonial objects, textiles, and architectural models that illuminate daily life in ancient Peru.
Stand atop Lima's most impressive pre-Columbian pyramid, where adobe bricks laid 1,500 years ago still reveal secrets about the Lima culture that thrived here long before the Incas. Your audio guide unlocks the mysteries of this sacred ceremonial centre — the religious rituals and astronomical observations once carried out on its ancient terraces. Discover the construction techniques that let this pyramid survive devastating earthquakes while modern buildings crumbled around it, and hear about the powerful priestesses who once ruled this site and the royal tombs recent excavations have uncovered.

Lima Travel Tips
Insider advice to make the most of your Lima visit.
December–April (Peruvian summer) brings the clearest skies and warmest days. June–October sees Lima's famous garúa coastal fog roll in. Book Museo Larco and the catacombs weeks ahead during peak season.
The Metropolitano rapid bus links Centro Histórico and Miraflores safely and cheaply. Rideshare apps like Uber or InDriver are inexpensive and safer than hailing street taxis. Walk within each district, ride between them.
Carry Peruvian soles (PEN) — you'll get better value than paying in US dollars, even in tourist zones. ATMs are plentiful in Miraflores. Cards are widely accepted at museums and restaurants.
Lima's coastal garúa fog settles in June–October, cooling the city even without rain. Bring a light jacket year-round, especially near the Miraflores cliffs, and comfortable shoes for cobblestone streets.
A handshake or single cheek kiss is customary when greeting. Dress modestly when entering the Basilica Catedral, Santo Domingo, or the catacombs. A tip of around 10% is appreciated at sit-down restaurants.
Ceviche is traditionally eaten at lunch, not dinner — seek it out at midday. Stick to bottled or filtered water rather than tap. Don't miss causa, pisco sour, and anticuchos from Lima's celebrated food scene.

The $6 price is per person, not per group. For a group of 3 or 4 each listening independently on their own phone, that's $18–$24 total — one purchase is only enough if everyone shares a single device together.
