sea, coast & valley
The Lima Sea, Coast and Valley Tour covers the city’s southern side, in some natural, rural and beach areas in a full day trip.
Starting from Lima to Pucusana, a fishermen´s bay to the lower lands of Lurin River known as Pachacamac Valley where we will hike some easy trails to explore some landscapes of the valley. This trip is made for those who like nature and are physically prepared for a moderate hike.
To complete the trip we will make a stop at the local market of Lurin, try some good local food and if there is time and the weather helps we may go to San Bartolo Beach.
