On this tour of Callao, you'll explore two different areas of the often-overlooked smaller twin city of Lima. First, you'll visit the upscale La Punta neighbourhood, which is located on a peninsula with rocky beaches and neo-colonial and Bauhaus mansions. The next stop is the historic centre of Callao, an interesting mix of colonial architecture, modern art and professional street art. It is thanks to this contemporary art that Callao's historic centre has transformed from a crime-ridden and dilapidated area into a colourful and safe neighbourhood. Modern art and street art have not only revived the neighbourhood but also the local economy and community. This tour also includes a cultural and local experience: a delicious lunch at a local restaurant as well as a graffiti workshop by a local street artist.

    The first stop of the day is the La Punta peninsula of Callao: a true hidden gem, that not many tourists discover during their stay in Lima.

    The second stop is just a short drive away: the historic centre of Callao. You'll explore its colourful streets with colonial architecture and art on a walking tour of about 1.5 hour. The guide will show you around the main historic places, such as Fort Real Felipe, Plaza Grau, Plaza Matriz, Plaza Gálvez and the port. On the walk, you'll also discover some of the more than 600 murals painted by local and international street artists. There are also many art galleries and studios of both national and international artists around for those that are interested in more conventional modern art. In the meantime, the guide will tell you more about the impressive transformation of this part of Callao and the impact it has had on this community.

We did a half day tour with Alfredo touring the murals/graffiti of Callao. It was amazing. We had the opportunity to make our own piece of art and were given a great little souvenir of it to take home. Alfredo was very accommodating, speaks fluent English and shared knowledge of Peru and the lifestyles of residents that we did not get on any of the other tours. Highly recommend it!
