Overview

Beginning in the 1980s, a group with communist ties called The Shining Path perpetrated bombings, assassinations, and other violent actions that terrorized much of Peru. Now in the past, the history of terrorism in Peru remains a recent and important part of the country's culture. On this half-day private tour, gain cultural insights during visits to the street where the first bombing in Lima took place, the Chorillos Cross (constructed from metal salvaged after a Shining Path bombing and put up to mark a visit by John Paul II in 1988), and the city's moving Place of Memory, Tolerance and Social Inclusion (Lugar de la Memoria).
