Pachacamac Inca Temple + museum and private mobility

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. We will visit the Acllawasi “Temple of the Virgins of the Sun” sacred enclosure where women selected for their manual, culinary skills or physical beauty lived and worked, and who were in the service of the Inca empire. The Acllawasi de Pachacamac was one of the largest and most important on the coast. We will also appreciate the different buildings that are part of this impressive place, buildings of cultures such as Lima, Wari, Ichma and Quechua, which left testimony of their ingenuity and ability to survive in a territory as adverse as the coastal desert. As soon as we visit the sacred sites at the bottom of the sanctuary, we will head for an elevated ramp that will take us to the “Temple of the Sun”, Pachacamac’s jewel. Finally we will border “The Temple of the Sun” or “Punchao kancha”, built of adobes and considered probably the largest temple on the entire coast, representing a great effort of organization for its construction.

About Lima

Lima, Peru's capital on clifftops above the Pacific, is a city of colonial plazas, pre-Inca ruins and an exciting, celebrated food scene.

The historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, revolves around the Plaza Mayor, with the cathedral, the Government Palace and the Archbishop's Palace with its carved wooden balconies. The Monastery of San Francisco hides catacombs beneath its yellow church, and the colonial mansions around it recall the riches of the viceroyalty.

Top-ranked sights in Lima: Miraflores, Lima Plaza Mayor, Church and Convent of Saint Francis (Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco).
