What to expect

  1. La Victoria
    2h
    Our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel and take you to Gamarra, a vibrant commercial city near the first “Pueblos Jóvenes” (Young Towns).

    First, we’ll visit the tallest building in the area for a panoramic view of Lima and the expansive territory of Gamarra, providing a great introduction to the city.

    Next, we’ll enjoy a walking tour through Gamarra’s streets, where you can sample local snacks and street food. We’ll then proceed to the witches market, known for its use of snakes, lizards, and other dissected animals in alternative medicine—a tradition from Andean culture.

    You’ll also find various aromatic herbs used in shamanic rituals to attract good luck, wealth, and love. While we won’t be participating in black magic, we believe it’s valuable to observe these rituals.

    If possible, you can even visit a wise Andean woman who reads futures using coca leaves. To conclude, we’ll take the public train back to your accommodation for a truly local experience.
