After Dark in Colonial Lima: A Two‑Hour Private Walk Through Ghosts, Power, and Hidden Stories.
This private, two‑hour evening walk peels back the polished facades of downtown Lima to reveal a city shaped by monks, uprisings, clandestine passageways and long‑told hauntings. With a dedicated guide you move at your own pace through churches, theaters and alleyways while stories of crime, power and legend are brought to life.

Outing Highlights
Colonial power and the city’s darker narratives
The tour emphasizes Lima’s less celebrated episodes — from the influence of religious orders to episodes of the Inquisition — framed through specific sites in the historic center and narrated by a private guide who tailors the stories to your interests.
Haunted houses, convents and the main plaza
Stops include emblematic locations in downtown Lima: Saint Agustín Church, the Municipal Theater, historic haunted houses and the Main Square, each chosen to connect architecture with the city’s layered past.
Private, flexible, and finished with a pisco sour
This is a private, VIP evening experience: storytelling tailored to your group, a flexible pace with time for questions, and a coupon for a complimentary pisco sour to redeem at a local bar at the end of the walk.
What the day feels like

Over approximately two hours the guide focuses on lesser‑told histories — haunted houses, secret tunnels and episodes of the Inquisition — stopping where the stories fit the place and the group’s interests before closing at a stylish bar with a complimentary pisco sour coupon.
