Explore the enigma of the Inca gods with a 4-hour guided tour to Pachacamac. This impressive Inca sanctuary, second only to Cusco in pre-Hispanic Peru’s worship hierarchy, lies just an hour outside central Lima. Constructed with large adobe bricks around 200 AC, the Pachacamac fortress offers an expansive introduction to Peru’s enduring ruins.
Surrounded by various monuments, including temples, a great pyramid, small palaces, and meticulously restored houses, Pachacamac tells the tale of ancient Peruvians. The spacious museum showcases gold artifacts, ceramics vessels, and textiles. “Pachacamac,” meaning “that which gives life to the world” in Quechua, is a coastal archaeological site located just south of Lima, renowned for its regional and pan-Andean religious significance.
People from the coast and highlands once flocked to Pachacamac, bringing gold and silver gifts to honor the deity and seek guidance on their destinies. Embark on a half-day tour from Lima to delve into the history of the Pachacamac Temple, exploring its ruins with knowledgeable guides.
