This tour also includes a visit to the Convent of Santo Domingo, where we will appreciate stunning paintings from XVII, XVIII centuries and the relatively daunting catacombs. In this place you can also wander in the ancient library as well as observe many remaining items used by the Dominicans.

We will then head to the Larco museum, where it is displayed an important collection of artefacts gathered by Rafael Larco (pioneer of Peruvian archaeology). This impressive collection (made from clay, stone, and wood) displayed in different rooms will help you understand our ancient history chronologically. Specially the room of textiles, which offers a sample of high development of creativity from our weavers, knitters and embroiderers using cotton, alpaca, and vicuña fibre as main source.
