Packing Essentials for Your Half-Day Tour
When preparing for a half-day tour in Lima, it’s important to pack wisely to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Given Lima’s often mild climate, opt for breathable layers of clothing, such as a light jacket or sweater, to adapt to changing temperatures. Don’t forget a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as you’ll likely be exploring on foot.
