Highlights
-
Museo de Sitio y Santuario Arqueologico de Pachacamac - Start with a morning pickup at your Lima hotel, then make the rougly 19-mile (30-km.) trip to the Pachacamac archeological site in an air-conditioned minivan.
Upon arrival at the site, continue on foot with your guide, who will explain the history and significance of the ruins as you walk from site to site. Climb a series of switchbacks to the Temple of the Sun, which looks out towards the coast—some archeologists believe that the Temple of the Sun was once used for human sacrifices. Continue to the House of the Chosen Women, also known as the Acllahuasi, to see a series of distinctive, Inca-style trapezoidal doorways.
throughout your time at the Pachacamac archeology site, your guide will share stories from the cultures that once lived and thrived there, as well as new information unearthed during recent site excavations

So special to learn about pre Hispanic time. - Very important site to learn about history of the country for those who is interested in the subject. Small but rich and beautiful museum.

Disappointment - This was a big disappointment as the guide arrived late, the driver never spoke to me once and the guide was not a guide but someone that sat in the passenger seat.
On arrival at Pachacamac I was left for 15 minutes to wander the museum while the guide turned up.
She spoke English but it was difficult to understand her and I had to keep repeating my questions, we did not see the site properly as she informed me she was only employed for a half hour tour.
We walked up to the Temple of the Sun and that was it, back to the van and back to the hotel. Neither of the guides spoke on the way back to the hotel.
This was a disappointment as it could have been so much better, I will on future visits avoid this company like the plague.
