Itinerary

Pachacamac Ruins

3 hours Admission not included

Pick up from hotel 8:30 am, then we head to the Lurin Valley, where the mysterious ruins of Pachacamac, the great pre-Inca ceremonial center dedicated to the Andean creator god, are located.

On the way, we will stop in the charming district of Barranco, known for its bohemian spirit and coastal heritage.

In Pachacamac, we will immerse ourselves in the legacy of ancient civilizations such as the Moche, Huari and Inca, exploring their sacred temples and ceremonial sites. We will visit the imposing Temple of the Sun, built with thousands of adobe bricks, which offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains.

We will also explore the Acllawasi, the sacred house of the “chosen women” who served the Sun God, learning about the rituals that made this one of the most important religious centers of the Inca Empire.

The tour ends with the return to your hotel after an enriching 3-hour experience.
