Audio Guide of Saint Clement Church

The church is usually open every day, generally from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for Mass and visits. It is located in the heart of the city, right in front of the Main Square of Pisco, so it is very easy to reach on foot or by taxi from anywhere in the town center.

No, entry to Saint Clement Church is completely free for both locals and foreign tourists. However, voluntary donations are accepted for the maintenance of the church if you would like to contribute.

Since it is a modern and functional church, a visit of 20 to 30 minutes is enough to appreciate its architecture, stained-glass windows, and enjoy a moment of peace. It is a short but meaningful stop on your tour of the city.

This place is a symbol of resilience. The original 19th-century church tragically collapsed during the 2007 earthquake; the current structure is a modern reconstruction inaugurated in 2012 that honors the memory of the city and its unshakable faith.

We recommend going at sunset, when the heat in Pisco eases and the lighting in the Main Square begins to turn on, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. If you are interested in local culture, attending Sunday Mass is a wonderful firsthand experience.

Yes, since it is a recent construction built after 2010, the design includes access ramps from the square and wide interior spaces, making it easier for wheelchairs and older visitors to move around.

You are in the perfect spot to explore. As soon as you step outside, you can stroll around the Main Square and the boulevard, or take transport to the El Chaco pier to visit the famous Ballestas Islands and the Paracas National Reserve, which are about 15 to 20 minutes away by car.

Remember that this is an active place of worship, so respectful clothing is recommended (avoid wearing swimsuits even if you are coming from the beach) and please keep quiet. On your way out, take the opportunity to try the traditional sweets sold in the shops around the square.
