The adobe walls and mud-brick structures have withstood centuries, standing as a remarkable testament to ancient engineering and devotion.

Since no one wanted to come with me, I left alone with my tour guide Martin. On the way from Miraflores to Pachacamac, he showed me and explained many interesting things about Lima, so the trip to the archaeological site proved to be very informative. The tour of the Pachamac Museum and the archaeological site also pleased me very much. However, I think this tour is really only for those interested in history/archaeology, as grey piles of rocks in the desert don’t look so inviting.
Excellent walk near Lima

Excellent midday walk near Lima. The museum has an excellent collection of original craft pieces. The archaeological site in good condition, the temple of the sun with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. Very good place to learn more about the pre-Inca villages of Peru and the expansion of the Incas to the south.
We adore

Super knowledgeable and professional!

This was a great way to connect to some ancient Peruvian history. Pachacamac is a powerful place, and Jonathan knows a lot about the site and about Lima in general! We felt really well taken care of.
