Inside, you’ll find the oldest choir stalls in the country and a library with 25,000 books, some printed in the 15th century, of invaluable historical value. Crossing the Plaza Mayor, next to the Government and Municipal Palace, we enter the Cathedral, a gem of Lima’s history, filled with invaluable colonial works. Leaving the Center, we head to the Larco Museum, which offers a clear vision of the cultures that populated Ancient Peru. We will be amazed by the gold artifacts, textiles, and erotic ceramics, part of a collection that introduces us to the worldview of ancient Peruvians.
