Optional Add-on 2~night Supplement package for the city of Lima Tour ~ May 12-14
May 12, Home/Lima: Enjoy the flight and sweet anticipation! In Lima, a Spirits of the Earth representative will be greeting you at the airport, escorting you to your hotel. Welcome to Peru!
May 13, Lima: More than 400 years ago, the Spanish conqueror ("conquistador") Francisco Pizarro named Lima the City of the Kings ("Ciudad de los Reyes”.) Today, that same city, which rose from the lands of the native chief Taulischusco, is a city of over 7 million people who proudly preserve the colonial convents and mansions which are symbols of their ancient and noble traditions. After breakfast our Lima exploration will begin at historical Plaza de Armas, home of Government’s Palace, the Cathedral, the Archbishop's Palace and City Hall. Afterwards we visit the Gold Museum. Peruvian people used to work the metal in a spectacular way. The procedure called "cire perdue" (lost wax) which was well known in the East but it disappeared in the West in the Renaissance era. This procedure was the most commonly used by the Peruvian goldsmiths. Our excursion to the Gold Museum can allow us to appreciate an excellent collection of gold pieces from different Peruvian Cultures; some of these pieces are more than 3000 years old. In this museum you will see valuable objects and jewelry of great worth, which where worked in Gold, Silver and with stunning types of stones. This jewelry was used by the most important people of the Inca's time, who were the son of the Sun and monarchs of this Empire. Return to hotel – free afternoon, enjoying fun shopping in Lima.
May 14, Lima/Cusco: After breakfast transfer to airport to join the rest of the group that traveled overnight to Lima, so together every one takes the same flight to Cusco.
