Taking the South Pan American Highway we will arrive Pachacamac, the most important Ceremonial Center of the Peruvian Coast during pre-inca and Inca times. The early inhabitants used to come here to worship and to give offerings to their God Pachacamac. Here, we are going to see several ancient earthen dwellings from different early times. At the course of the centuries, Pachacamac was occupied by many different Andean civilizations such as Lima, Wari, Ichma until the Incas Empire, but it always kept its religious status. Among the most important constructions we have Adobitos Temple ( I C. A.D ), Pachacamac Old Temple ( I C. A.D ), The Painted Temple ( VIII C. A.D ), Pyramids with Ramp ( XIII C. A.D ),The Sun Temple ( XV C. A.D ). Besides the ruins we will find a museum that houses potteries, textiles, shell and stone ornaments, as well as the wooden Pachacamac Idol, found during the excavations in 1938.

Around 1:00 pm we will arrive to the chosen restaurant. Here you will be able to try and enjoy a wide variety of typical Peruvian food. We invite you to discover the unique and delicious flavors of our food.

We will continue our Lima tour in the modern suburbs of San Isidro and Miraflores. We will pass by the Financial Center , also Huallamarca and Pucllana, both pre-inca pyramidal temples that have survived the expansion of modern civilization.
