This was a fantastic to hear. You start out for the best rate in a very high-class bus from your hotel to the Sittercity, you get to see the central plaza in old town which is marvelous. Unfortunately, due to Covid, it was closed he could not walk through it but you could see it from all angles from the sides. Architecture was fantastic and meet for some great photos. He then proceeded to an old church and get a tour of the church, followed by the catacombs underneath with your full of bones from several hundred years. This is a fascinating tour underneath the church, through old brick lined tunnels and passages.
After that, a bus ride again. You go to an old abandoned cemetery which is absolutely beautiful. In other cities, they would charge a huge amount to tour these lovely statuary and old Graves. Arturo was able to point out interesting characters from the history of Peru buried here. This included several past presidents, and other large mausoleums which were amazing to see.
Whole tour was about 45 hours and definitely money well spent. One of most beautiful parts of the city, and apparently no one goes here – we were the only people on the cemetery part of the tour in the entire cemetery, which seems to be miles in each dimension. I would say this is a don’t miss tour.
