After picking you up at the chosen time, we will leave city centre Lima and head towards the Lurin Valley. Here we will visit the pre-Inca ruins built in honour of the god Pachacamac, creator of the universe according to the ancient Andean people.
Begin your tour at the Pachacamac Site Museum, where you will appreciate an impressive collection of artefacts recovered from excavations in the area. From ceramics and textiles to beautiful wooden idols, each piece will tell you a storey about the ancient civilisations that inhabited this land.
Continue with a visit to the ruins. Along the way, you will observe various adobe and stone structures, witnesses of the importance that Pachacamac had as a pilgrimage centre for the pre-Inca and Inca cultures. Marvel at the Temple of the Sun, a truncated pyramid rising from the desert, and the Temple of Pachacamac, a sacred place dedicated to the creator god.
As you explore these historic sites, your guide will help you discover and tell stories, further enriching your experience. Learn how religious ceremonies were conducted, what daily life was like in this ancient religious centre, and how Pachacamac played a crucial role in the history of ancient Peru.
A visit to the Pachacamac Sanctuary and Museum is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Peru's vibrant history and culture.
