The Casa Torre Table (18th century) is the best example of the luxury in the colonial houses of Lima. The era after the conquest of Peruvian territories started with a reaffirmation on the “Spanish identity” of the colonial cities including Lima, a moorish influence in the house is impressive and you see it everywhere. We were design as a copy-paste of Spain, to be more specific a copy of the territories once conquered by Arabs where the moorish style prevailed and still can be seen. Eventually we got our own style, forms and colors , in a process called syncretism. See the process of evolution of the architecture of Lima during our walking tours of the city , we always include a walking tour our tours to the downtown of Lima. Contact me for more info. #casatorretable #walkingtour #limatour #adventuroustravel #Lifeofatouraguide #colonialhouse During our #Limaexpress tour today we got to visit this espectacular site called @museo_huallamarca_oficial . This site is one of the most important archaeological sites in Lima. It is amazing that this site was build about 2 thousand years ago , is was made entirely in adobe ... such a delicate, flexible material can be so long lasting ! And earthquake resistant . During our full day tour of the city we visit this one and other impressive sites, including Larco Museum and the Catacombs of Saint Francis monastery in Lima’s downtown, and lovely lunch is included on our tour as well. #huacahuallamarca #limaexpresstour #adventuroustravel #archaeologicalsite #limatours Tremendous admiration for our national hero Francisco Bolognesi, descendent of an Italian immigrant, defended our territory during Chilean occupation back in the 19th century during the “war of the Pacific” (1879-1884) he defended his homeland with many other men and women unknown to the recorded history of our country.After a long campaign he was killed in Arica (now a days Chilean territory) and died heroically in a fight that we knew he had no chance to win, as the difference in number with the enemy was big. When he was requested to surrender he said a famous phase he is most remember for “I have sacred duties to fulfill and I will fulfill them until I burn the last cartridge” Now know as the father of Peruvian army, gave us all the message of fighting for what is rightfully yours, for what your and ancestors fought to defend and inherit you, and also to fight for what your children will receive because , like in his case, he knew he will not survive that fight , but it will be next generations that will receive that gift and example. Thanks for sacrifice Mr. Bolognesi. #franciscobolognesi #nationalhero #fortalezarealfelipe #history #adventuroustravel I’m in love with Miraflores since long, since I became a tour guide and started to pick up clients from the luxurious hotels located along the promenade in the cliff area, right in front of the ocean. One of my dreams since then was moving to this part of Lima... it is still a dream but I get to spend lots of time near this zone, with my clients or with my family. Recently I started to drive a bicycle, I bit for improving my health , a bit for disconnecting with the crazy traffic of Lima, and had me come a blessing, I have accomplished both goals and I’m getting to k ow more my city, it came on a perfect time as The climate is changing and we are transitioning into summer. Our goal for next year to start offering bike tours in Lima. We cross our fingers to see this dream coming true 🤞 #biketours #lima #malecon #oceanview #citytours #biketours #commingsoon #adventuroustravel Visiting Pueblo Libre is always a pleasure, this old district of Lima was stablished initially as a “reducción indígena” or an inidigenous community overlooked by the Franciscan order, long has passed since those days, now this zone is known as one of the bohemian districts of Lima by night time. One of the most famous restaurants of this district is @elbolivarianoperu , Peruvian creole food in a colonial ambiance is the specialty of the house. Come for a walk to the #boulevarddelcriollismo or have a Pisco Sour at @antiguatabernaqueirolo and complete the bohemian circuit of the district. If you need a tour guide for this visit contact us, we are happy to create something special for you. Salud! Cheers! #bohemianlima #pueblolibre #limatours #adventuroustravel #travelspots #igersperu Having a great time at the @expocallao, highly recommended .
