Insider tips

  • ★Arrive at the Larco Museum early in your tour when energy is highest—the collection is vast and deserves focused attention
  • ★Ask your guide about the convent's underground catacombs; not all tours highlight this eerie, lesser-known section
  • ★Wear comfortable walking shoes; the downtown portion involves uneven colonial streets and steep convent staircases

Good to know

  • •Small-group format (typically 8–12 people) allows more personalised commentary than larger tours
  • •Museum and convent have steps and uneven surfaces; limited accessibility for mobility difficulties
  • •Hotel pickup/drop-off logistics depend on your accommodation location—confirm with supplier at booking
  • •Bring sun protection and water; Lima's coastal sun is intense even in cooler months
