Pachácamac
Pachacamac.
Pre-Inca and Inca site with a small museum Km 31 km of the old South Panamericana highway.
The Pachacamac shrine is today an archaeological zone in the department of Lima doted with an on site museum and natural protected areas, such as the carob forest and lake. A tour of site is to go back in time through the history of the Lurin River Valley and the central coast, the burial sites and temples.
Four hundred years before the Incas, the ishmay culture developed a major ceremonial center, featuring streets, dozens of temples fitted with ramps and the Painted Temple, evidence of their sense of religious urbanism. When the Incas overran the valley in the fourteenth century, they adapted the existing constructions to their administrative needs, stripping the citadel of its sacred status and banishing the oracle to oblivion.
The Incas built the Temple of the Sun, the Acllahuasi (House of the Virgins of the Sun), the Pilgrims’ Plaza and other palaces.
