Description
Millions of years ago, the rocks of Morro Solar held secrets of ancient seas, epic battles, and profound transformations of the Earth. Today, you can be part of that history. At Andean Geology Trails , two geological engineers—Diego Iriarte and Camila Arizaca—will take you on an experience that unites science, history, and adventure in one of Lima's most iconic locations.
This isn't just a walk: it's a journey among strata, fossils, monuments, and viewpoints, where every step reveals something new. Did you know that one of the most decisive battles of the War of the Pacific took place here? Or that the rocks of El Morro tell chapters of the entire continent's geological past?
During the tour, we'll explore sedimentary formations, geological faults, the Monument to the Unknown Soldier, Christ of the Pacific, ancient tunnels, and unique ocean views. We'll end at the Morro natural viewpoint, with a breathtaking panoramic view.
If you want to understand Lima from its deepest roots—those of the Earth and its history—this tour is for you.
