OVERVIEW
PACHACAMAC – PRE-COLOMBIAN ERA 1 DAY
After breakfast, your Tour Guide picks you up from your hotel to start the Pachacamac – pre-Colombian Era Trip. We ride for 45 minutes southwards to the Lurin Valley till we reach the archaeological complex of Pachacamac. We get off there to observe this significant religious center and a place of pre-Hispanic oracle. All the complex was constructed of adobe bricks. Firstly, our Guide explains to us about the oldest pyramidal temple called the Old Temple of Pachacamac. Then, s/he teaches us about the Painted Temple, the Temple of the Sun, the Pilgrimage Square, and Aqlla Wasi which means the House of the Chosen Ones (basically, the Sun Virgins). We explore both sectors of Pachacamac, which means the first-sacred as well as the second-secular. The second incorporates lots of secular pyramids and dwellings. Finally, we visit the excellent Museum of Pachacamac to be able to appreciate the abundance of historical artifacts.
Afterward, we get on our vehicle again and ride back to Lima. On the way, you stop at the Barranco District to visit the famous Bridge of Sighs and enjoy some splendid views of the Pacific Ocean. Eventually, you are taken back to your hotel where the Guide tells you goodbye.
