Lima
The catacombs under the San Francisco monastery hold the bones of an estimated 25,000 people, and these tours take you down among them. I’ve listed guided visits that pair the crypt with the monastery’s library and tilework upstairs. The passages run tight and low, so claustrophobes should think twice.
Explore the eerie Lima Catacombs and the historic center on a small-group nighttime tour in 2024. Discover the secrets of this fascinating underground world.
