Pass By: Fortaleza real felipe, Plaza Independencia, Callao Peru

After picking them up, we will head west until we reach Puerto del Callao, located just 14 kilometers from Lima.
We will go back to the viceregal era as we walk streets that have been the scene of countless battles and important historical events. Since then, the area has been the gateway to the Peruvian capital, even hosting the Jorge Chavez International Airport.
During the city tour, we will discover why Callao is considered the main port of Peru and one of the most important in South America.
Next to the Plaza de la Independencia we will visit the Real Felipe fortress, one of the most outstanding works of the viceregal era. It was built in the 17th century by the Spaniards to defend the city from Dutch pirates and is currently home to the Museum of the Army of Peru. In addition to knowing its role as the last bastion of resistance of the Spanish forces in Peru, from here we will obtain insurmountable views of the port and the bay.
We will approach the bay and crossing the Plaza Miguel Grau we will reach the Submarine Abtao, a real submarine used by the Peruvian maritime militia that has been converted into a floating museum. Stay alert! While touring the torpedo compartments and the central command post.
The tour ends at the Larcomar Shopping Center, in the Miraflores district.
