Descripción del Tour:
Once we pick you up from your hotel in the city of Lima, get ready to embark on an amazing journey through the archaeological wonders nestled within the city.
Our first stop is the renowned Huaca Pucllana, situated in the heart of Miraflores. Be prepared to be awestruck by the magnificent truncated adobe pyramid, which proudly stands at 25 meters tall. As you walk through the intriguing courtyards and plazas of this archaeological marvel, let your imagination run wild. Don't miss the captivating exhibition hall, which unveils some of the site's best-kept secrets.
The Huaca Pucllana archaeological site is deeply rooted in the ancient Lima culture, which thrived along the central coast of Peru between 200 and 700 A.D. This site served as a ceremonial and administrative hub, offering a tangible glimpse into the pre-Columbian history of the area.
Discovered during urban development in Lima during the 1980s, ongoing excavation and restoration efforts have been pivotal in preserving this vital archaeological treasure.
Following this cultural journey, we head to the Mateo Salado archaeological complex, nestled in the charming district of Pueblo Libre. This archaeological treasure holds a vital place in Lima's history due to its connection with the legendary Qhapaq Ñan, the famed Inca Trail that linked the entire Empire.
This historic structure, dating back around 1,400 years, was constructed by the ancient Lima civilization during the Middle Horizon period, from 600 to 900 A.D.
Uncover the origins of Mateo Salado as a ceremonial-administrative center of the Ychsma culture, and be fascinated by how the Incas ingeniously repurposed it to connect this huaca with the famed Pachacamac to the south of Lima.
The Mateo Salado complex features a truncated pyramid and a ceremonial plaza, surrounded by various auxiliary structures. Archaeologists have unveiled that the main pyramid was clad in adobe and adorned with reliefs and murals showcasing human figures, animals, and deities tied to Lima mythology.
As our time-traveling adventure concludes, we will ensure your safe return to your hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories from start to finish.
