Pachacamac Tour
After picking you up, we'll depart from downtown Lima towards the Lurin Valley. We will visit the pre-Inca ruins honoring the god Pachacamac, creator of the universe. Before reaching our destination, we'll stop in the Bohemian neighborhood of Barranco to explore its history as a fishing village and a seaside resort.
During our 30-minute tour, you'll learn about the daily life of the Moche, Huai, and Inca cultures. We'll explore the Pachacamac Citadel and its famous oracle, which was a vital ceremonial center for the Inca Empire. We'll also view the Temple of the Sun remains, constructed from adobe bricks, providing a view of the Pacific Ocean, the Andes Mountains, and the surrounding ruins. Additionally, we'll see the main archaeological remains at Acllawasi, where virgins were sacrificed as offerings to the Sun God.
The tour concludes with a return to your hotel in Lima after 3 hours.
