Join us to discover Pachacamac, an ancient sanctuary and one of the most important archaeological sites on the Peruvian coast. Located about 18 miles south of Lima in the valley of Rio Lurin, the site is named for the creator god Pacha Kamaq. The complex features a number of partially-restored pyramids and temples inhabited by four successive ancient Peruvian civilizations beginning with the Lima in about 200 AD, followed by the Wari and Ychma. Finally, when the Inca Empire expanded to Peru’s central coast in about 1470, they contributed the Temple of the Sun, building it atop the site's highest hill facing the ocean. After our visit, we’ll enjoy dinner at a local restaurant along the shoreline of the Costa Verde in Miraflores before returning to our hotel.
Please Note: This optional tour is pre-sold only and must be reserved at least 30 days prior to departure. This optional tour is also not available on Mondays, when the site is closed. If Day 2 of your itinerary falls on a Monday, an alternate optional tour to Huaca Pucllana & Dinner will be available at the same price.
