Lima looks different after sunset, and this tour is built around that. Starting from the colonial House of Osambela, you'll walk the illuminated Plaza Mayor and Plaza San Martín as the day's heat fades and the crowds thin out, tracing the same colonial-era streets from the morning tours under a completely different light.

The night finishes at the Magic Water Circuit in the Parque de la Reserva, a Guinness-recognized complex of illuminated fountains that put on synchronized water, light and music shows — a spectacle that has become one of Lima's signature evening outings for visitors and locals alike.
