5.00Pachacamac was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Peru. This ancient sanctuary offers much more than ruins — it’s a powerful place filled with history, mystery, and breathtaking ocean views. Walking through the temples and ceremonial pyramids while learning about the civilizations that shaped ancient Peru was an unforgettable experience. The Temple of the Sun, overlooking the Pacific, was absolutely stunning and worth every step. The visit was well organized and informative, making it easy to fully appreciate the cultural importance of the site. If you are looking for something authentic, historical, and different from the typical city tour, Pachacamac is the perfect choice. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lima!
