Although we were concerned that there may be a lack of sensitivity in choosing this tour, we were overwhelmed by how wonderful it was. We had a private tour with Stefano and met wonderful people in the marketplace, who were delighted to visit with us, and we also met an amazing woman who was responsible for creating and managing a soup kitchen. We learned about the challenges in this neighborhood caused by the pandemic and about many of the real problems they face. All of this during breakfast graciously served in the very simple home of this family. The tour was conducted with every attention to sensitivity and safety, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Stefano was the perfect guide and himself lived in a similar neighborhood.

We spent two days with Edwin from Haku Tours. The first day we saw the “nicer’ sides of Lima and the second day was the Pyramids and Shanty Town tour. The Shanty town tour was eye opening! Edwin first took us to the market in the Shanty Town and then onto a one room school in the area, run by volunteer mothers. The children performed a Xmas song for us and we performed one for them. The soup kitchen was right next door and we all made some purchases at a little grocery store for additional supplies for the kitchen. Edwin was so informative about life in a Shanty Town and appreciative of our support. Highly recommend this tour!!!!

Whatever the world gives you, there is still hope. Soup kitchens to electricity, to walls replacing dumps, the madam president does it all.

This was one of the most educational tours I have ever taken. It shined a light onto a side of the Peruvian life that not many people are aware of. It provided insight and meaning and was the best way I could have ended my trip. The tour guide and members of the community were friendly, giving, and interested in sharing their stories and learning about mine. Highly recommended.

Cesar my guide was very informative. He gave me a more realistic picture of life in the shanty town. From a kitchen to a classroom to the history of the district.

Incredible experience to see and experience the non-touristy Lima. Leonardo was a wonderful, knowledgeable, passionate guide. I will never forget some of the people I met on this tour.

Our tour started in Shanty Town at the fruit and vegetable vendors purchasing healthy treats for the children that we would later meet. The vendors at the fruit/vegetable stands were delightful and happy to see us. Our guide and translator educated us about the fruits and vegetables native to the area, many of which were unfamiliar to us. As we progressed further in Shanty Town, we encountered many children and some parents, all of whom were treated to share the bounty from the food vendors. We were treated to a wonderful interaction with some of the people of Lima, thank you to Haku Tours for providing the opportunity.
