Pachacamac Tour

Go back to the time of the ancient Andean civilizations as you discover the ruins around one of the most impressive archaeological sites on the central coast of Peru with this Pachacamac Tour.

Pachacamac Tour

After picking you up, we'll depart from downtown Lima and head towards the Lurin Valley. Here we'll visit the pre-Inca ruins built in honour of the god Pachacamac, creator of the universe according to the ancient Andean peoples.

Before reaching our destination, we'll stop in the Bohemian neighborhood of Barranco, learning about its history as a fishing village and later as an exclusive seaside resort. After this, we'll travel to Pachacamac.

During our 30-minute tour, we'll explore the history of the Andean civilization and the daily life of the Moche, Huai, and Inca cultures. We'll tour the Pachacamac Citadel and learn about its famous oracle, a significant ceremonial centre for the Inca Empire.

We will approach the Temple of the Sun remains, built by the Incas from adobe bricks. From its summit, you'll see the Pacific Ocean, the Andes Mountains, and the esplanade where the ruins lie. We'll also visit Acllawasi, where the virgins lived who were sacrificed as an offering to the Sun God.

The tour will end with a return to your hotel in Lima after 3 hours.
