About this experience
Your will be picked up from your hotel and will travel to the South on the Pan-American Highway toward Pachacamac, located thirty minutes from Lima City. This archaeological complex, built in 200 AD, is one of the most important Pre-Inca religious centers on the Peruvian coast. It originally belonged to the Ichma culture (although it was mostly built by the Wari people and subsequently conquered by the Incas); the sanctuary is located 30 kilometers South of Lima and it was the place of worship of Pachacamac, the god who created the world. The religious center, which houses several temples, operated for centuries until the arrival of the Spaniards, when the fall of the Inca Empire finally started. You will then go to have lunch with a Paso Horse Show. You will return to your hotel at the end of the tour.
