• Cementerio de Nueva Esperanza - After a 40-minute drive, you’ll arrive at the world’s second-largest cemetery. It’s an impressive site, unlike any other cemetery you’ve visited before. Nestled among the hills and human settlements, you’ll have the opportunity to explore, and if you’re into photography, you’ll capture numerous artistic shots.
• San Juan De Miraflores - Following the cemetery visit, you’ll proceed to the human settlement where you’ll first meet a local woman who has established her own small business and artisan workshop in her home. She will share her story and business insights.

The bilingual guide collaborates with a local guide who will show you around the neighborhood and introduce you to several local families and community leaders. The first stop is the home of our local cook, who has prepared a delightful drink and snack for you.

Afterwards, the local guide will provide insights into daily life, highlighting both challenges and positive initiatives. The residents have worked diligently to build a strong community, and you’ll meet some of these community leaders. The guide will also explain more about the local project your visit supports. On certain days, you’ll even witness their activities with participating children in action.

In the morning, you’ll go on an off-the-beaten-path market tour, where you visit an authentic market where locals do their shopping or enjoy a quick lunch. You’ll try traditional Peruvian foods how and where the locals eat them. With typical Peruvian dishes, drinks, fruits and desserts surrounded by and interacting with friendly locals, this market visit is both a cultural and gastronomic experience.

In the afternoon, you’ll visit several places in a human settlement up in the hills of Lima such as a very unique and huge cemetery, a female artisan’s workshop, a social project run by locals and you’ll have one more drink and small snack at a local family’s house. You’ll not only learn about daily life in Lima’s human settlements and the historical, political and cultural background but most importantly, you’ll meet amazing locals who work hard to improve their community. This cultural immersion tour focuses on positive initiatives and hope and benefits the social project you’ll visit.
