Museo Larco in Lima

Pre-Columbian art, a garden break and a family activity booklet: make Museo Larco a focused visit rather than a museum marathon.

What to expect

Museo Larco introduces Peru before the Spanish conquest. It is in Pueblo Libre, not on the Miraflores waterfront. Choose a few objects you really want to look at; you do not have to finish the collection today.

How it fits into a journey

Make Larco the main visit of a morning or afternoon. Allow separately for the journey to Pueblo Libre, then leave room for the garden or something to eat. Arriving late in Lima is no reason to rush through the galleries.

Practical answers

How can I visit Museo Larco with children?

Download the museum’s family activity booklet and choose a few tasks together. For a guided option, check the family programmes and ask about availability and language before booking.

Which entrance should I use?

The museum directs visitors to the entrance on Calle Navarra in Pueblo Libre. Use that entrance as your destination, rather than just the neighbourhood name.
