Callao is your port of entry to the glittering, elegant city of Lima, the darling of Peru. Founded by Pizarro and the Conquistadors, the capital city today offers priceless collections ranging from the Museum of Gold to the Museum of Anthropology and Archeology. Pizarro's remains can be found in the Cathedral, built in 1746. From Lima, you can also take a tour to Machu Picchu, the mysterious lost city of the Incas high in the Andes, or to Cuzco, the capital of the Incan Empire.

Another great Princess full day excursion seeing the highlights of Lima. This trip covered so much and gave you a really good feel for the city. Another huge lunch with copious amounts of local alcohol served. City tour, main sights, markets, churches, several museums, overlooking the beaches, saw people surfing and locals enjoying their city. Easily managed by my Mum then 87
I found this to be a disappointing port. A 30+ minute shuttle ride drops you off at a modern mall. Stores and look could have been in the US. We didn't do a shore excursion because the price seemed high for what you got. I like ports where you can explore on your own, this one was too difficult.
Had the excursion from hell, traffic is crazy, felt liked we were going to be killed several times. Private tour for 8 turned into public tour for 12, did not feel very safe. Again another industrial port.
