Tour Reviews
Es un lugar único en la Ciudad de Lima, Perú, es difícil pensar que dentro de la ciudad exista una zona arqueológica de tal magnitud y belleza, debería de ser una visita obligada al estar en la deliciosa capital peruana.
Un tour muy bueno, con la suerte que nos tocó una excelente guía.
Recomiendo llevar sombrilla por que el recorrido es a pleno sol
Experiencia formidable
Es cierto que el enclave y ambiente son excepcionales pero la atención que recibimos fue extraordinaria por parte de todo el personal
Museo de sitio ubicado en el distrito de Miraflores, el museo se encuentra en medio de la ciudad entre casas y edificios modernos y solo ha sido explorado en un 40%. Si lo visitas lleva bloqueador solar y sombrero porque casi no tiene zonas de sombra.
Un lugar increíble instalado en pleno barrio residencial. Museo bien implementado, guías bien entrenados. Hay que ir con sombrero, bloqueador y agua. Mi hijo de 9 años hizo el recorrido sin muchas complicaciones.
