Pedro de Osma Museum
The imposing former residence of Pedro de Osma, dating from the beginning of this century, is now a private museum, housing a collection of colonial art of Cusco and Ayacucho Schools.
The artistic finds come from the personal collection formed by Don Pedro de Osma Gildemeister between years 1936 - 1967. He was a connoisseur of the Peruvian virreinal art, who reunited gradually around familiar patrimony remarkable objects of the more varied sorts and techniques that are a good reflect of the Peruvian art of centuries XVI, XVII, XVIII and XIX. All the pieces were lodged in his large house of Barranco, arranged originally in tight exhibition, in the style of the European palace-museums of century XIX.
Barranco District
Enjoy some free time walking around the main square and marvel at the beautiful colonial architecture of its main church. Take a short walk to the "Puente de los Suspiros" (Bridge of Sighs), where it is a custom to take a deep breath and make a wish as you cross the bridge.
Lunch at a local restaurant is included in the tour.
At the conclusion of the tour, re-board the vehicle for the approximately 1-hour return drive to Lima International airport.
