View the Government Palace, the City Hall, the Cathedral and the Archbishop's Palace. The Cathedral, the main church and one of the main symbols of the city, started construction the same year the city was founded, 1535. Its cold and rather gloomy interior bears witness to the building's trials and tribulations.

Stop at Parque del Amor for a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean and its beaches. Now you are on to Barranco, the city's most important romantic and bohemian district and a former fashionable beach resort for the old Liman aristocracy. Here you will discover emblematic buildings such as the Justice Palace, Civical Center, the Art and Italian Museums. Next, check out the upscale residential districts of San Isidro and Miraflores, known for its shopping, gardens, flower-filled parks, and beaches. A stop will be made at the Bridge of Sighs, an ancient but solid bridge which has long inspired poets and songwriters like Chabuca Granda. Normal rate: up to $83 per person. Your rate: Free when you book by October 31st.
- Whale Watching in Cabo San Lucas. A lifetime of memories awaits you during the annual whale migration, when the whales pursue their instincts and travel to their breeding grounds.
