Itinerary

  • Lima (Pass By)

    We will visit the Archeological Sanctuary of Pachacamac, just 30 kms. south of Lima. It was built in adobe with view to the sea and the Lurin river valley.

  • Pachacamac Ruins

    It was built in adobe with view to the sea and the Lurin river valley. It was a pilgrimage site for many cultures that developed in ancient Peru. Upon arrival of the Incas, the complex was adapted to become an administrative center, respecting and adapting the local constructions. You can find there the Temple of the Sun, the Acllahuasi, the Palace of Taurichumbi, and the Pilgrimage Plaza, among others. We will also visit the Site Museum to get a better insight and appreciate the salvaged remnants of the area. The massive Temples of the Sun and the Moon are known to be the compound's most striking features. Built entirely of clay, an estimated 50 million sun-dried bricks were used in the construction of the Temple of the Sun alone. Excavations in the area continue to reveal further insights into the Moche and Huari cultures that spanned the period from 200 to 800 AD.

Experience Lima Off the Beaten Path

Published on Feb, 2025

I had a great experience on this tour and learned so much. Miguel was an amazing guide who was very friendly, answered all my questions, and had such a positive attitude. The driver, Hugo, was also great and the entire experience felt very safe!

Take this tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

Loved this tour! Eduardo is very knowledgeable and eager to share information not only about the site, but also life in Lima and Peru in general. Angel is an excellent driver! We felt very safe and comfortable with him.

Do include this in your Lima itinerary

Eduardo is a fantastic guide! He shared so much not only about the tour itself but also about Lima and Peruvian life.. very knowledgeable! The tour itself is amazing! Do include it in your plans. We also felt very safe and comfortable with our driver Angel who knew how to navigate the congested streets of Lima with ease. We also appreciated being picked up from our hotel in a comfortable and roomy vehicle. A+ experience all around! Thank you Eduardo and Angel for a memorable day!

Worth it!

Published on Dec, 2024

This is a worth it tour. Has many historical significant sites and also once you are at the top of the pyramid you have the most beautiful view.

We enjoyed listening to...

We enjoyed listening to our tour guide, who gave exemplary information about this area. The area has a lot of history, which continues to this day, as archaeologists continue to find relics of the past.
