Descripción del Tour:
Our bike tour kicks off at the designated meeting point in the district of Miraflores. We will embark on this thrilling biking journey by navigating through the vibrant streets of this tourist-friendly area until we arrive at the archaeological center of La Huaca Pucllana (note: closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
Dating back between 200 and 700 AD, this remarkable architectural site was built by the Lima culture, an influential pre-Inca civilization from Peru's central coast. The huaca features an expansive adobe pyramid, towering at 25 meters, encircled by courtyards, plazas, and other ceremonial and administrative edifices.
For those taking the tour on a Tuesday or Thursday, your journey will include a visit to Huaca Huallamarca, an archaeological gem nestled in the district of San Isidro. This stepped pyramid has been crafted and utilized by various pre-Hispanic cultures over many centuries. Originally, it was a creation of the Lima culture, later adapted by the Wari culture and subsequently by the Incas.
The huaca primarily consists of adobes, large mud bricks, and has undergone multiple restorations to maintain its structural integrity and accessibility for visitors. Within, archaeologists have uncovered burials, offerings, and diverse ceramic and textile artifacts, highlighting its ceremonial and funerary significance.
The bike tour will proceed through the scenic parks of both districts, culminating at the Malecón of Miraflores, offering a ride with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.
