Why go
This full day links three places west of central Lima. Begin at Museo Nacional de Arqueología, Antropología e Historia del Perú in Pueblo Libre, then compare its collections with those at Larco Museum. Continue to Parque de las Leyendas in San Miguel for archaeology and wildlife displays across a larger outdoor site. The park needs the longest visit, so keep the two museum stops focused and allow time for transfers, entry and a break. Check current admission arrangements for all three places before setting out.
