Larco Museum: lunch on the garden terrace

Sobre este Tip
The Larco Museum occupies a mansion in Pueblo Libre, wrapped in landscaped gardens that are part of the visit. Its café-restaurant sits on the terraces above the garden and can be entered without a museum ticket, so it works as a calm lunch stop. Reserve a table, and expect it to fill up when tour groups arrive. Come with a small bag, since larger ones go to the cloakroom before the exhibition rooms.
