Trip overview
Two days is the right amount of time for Lima. Day one covers the Historic Center and Barranco with the same guide. Day two is slower: Miraflores, the Huaca Pucllana pyramid and a local market, then a free afternoon for ceviche, the Malecón or an optional bike ride or wine tasting. Many travelers split the two days, one on arrival and one before flying home.

Barranco Murals and the Bridge of Sighs
