Real Felipe Fortress and Callao Tour
Tour Details
After picking you up from your hotel in Lima at the indicated time, we'll set off westbound for Calleo, where we'll admire some famous graffiti and galleries.
Our first stop will be at the Royal Felipe Fortress, a colonial bastion that stands as a symbol of resistance against the sea since the eighteenth century. As we walk contemplating its solid stone walls, we'll pass by the Museum of Arms, the King's Tower, with its strategic views of the Pacific and the Governor's House.
A few steps away, we'll see a replica of the Casa de la Respuesta, an emblematic scene of the heroic act of Francisco Bolognesi, who promised to fight “until the last cartridge is burned”. In front of this residence, a sculpture pays tribute to the unknown soldier, reminding us of the anonymous courage of so many Peruvians.
Next, we'll go to Plaza Grau-Callao, from where we'll have the best panoramic views of the port and the Dársena lighthouse. In the nearby Naval Museum, we'll learn about the heroic deeds of the Peruvian Navy.
To close the tour in style, we'll take a walk through the monumental Callao, where we'll cross ancient streets admiring the traditional mansions. It will be like walking through an open-air art museum that fuses the historical with the modern. Murals, workshops, and contemporary exhibition centers will surround us during our tour of the city of Callao.
Finally, we'll make our way back to the hotels in Lima, where we'll end the tour four hours later.
