For art aficionados visiting Lima, Aracari’s special-access visit to the workshops and home of Lima’s renowned family of artists, the Liébanas, is an exclusive opportunity for culturally curious travellers to delve into Peru’s art world, past and present. The Casa Liébana art tour in the capital’s bohemian art district of Barranco invites you to delve into the contemporary work spaces of the two Liébana brothers; Mateo, a painter, and Joaquin, a sculptor, followed by a visit to the private home of their late father, Jaime Liébana.
