Descripción del Tour:
The tour begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel in the city of Lima, embarking on a 40-minute journey to the district of Villa El Salvador, located 16 miles south of the city.
Villa El Salvador originated as a human settlement in 1971, where numerous families settled without basic services like water, drainage, or electricity. Over the years, this area has evolved with a structured urbanization plan that has greatly benefited its residents.
Similar to shanty towns in Lima like San Juan de Lurigancho and Villa María del Triunfo, Villa El Salvador has seen remarkable development, becoming a district of the capital.
On this fascinating tour, we will explore the community alongside a knowledgeable leader, ensuring an enriching experience during the walking tour.
As we approach the hill's base, the tour guide will share insights into the community system, covering aspects of history, politics, and religion. We will arrive at the yellow stairs, an urban project designed to improve access for residents to their homes.
You'll have the opportunity to capture stunning panoramic pictures of the city, along with views of the Valley of Lurin and the Pacific Ocean. You'll visit local homes, meet the neighbors, take photos with them in their traditional houses, and enjoy the sight of smiling children throughout the journey.
The shanty town tour includes a visit to a local market to see essential products, and we will also stop by a community kitchen where many underprivileged individuals receive daily meals.
You'll have the chance to visit a kindergarten (Monday to Friday only), and on weekends, you'll meet children playing in the streets.
After this incredible experience, we'll return to the city and drop you off at your hotel.
