National Museum of the Archaeology, Anthropology, and History of Peru

Peru's oldest and largest museum houses nearly 300,000 artifacts covering the country's pre-Hispanic and colonial past until the early Republican days. Guided tours can be booked in Spanish, English and Italian. If you're into history and culture, this place will provide you with an impressive learning experience.

Do & See

Kick off your visit to Lima with a walk around the colorful and bustling city center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site--home to many historical buildings and churches. Delve into the country's rich past in one of the many museums around. Once you’ve soaked up the local history, explore the city's districts: Miraflores on the beachfront is the trendy one, while Barranco is more artsy and bohemian. Day trips to ancient sites in the surroundings are always fun too.
