Pachacamac is the tour for travelers who want to see what the coast looked like before the Spanish city existed. It suits a free morning in Lima, and it pairs well with the Lima city tour in the afternoon. With a single free morning and more interest in colonial churches than ruins, take the city tour instead.
For well over a thousand years, people walked here from across the Andes and the coast to consult the oracle of Pachacamac, the creator god of the central coast. The Lima, Wari and Ychma peoples built on the site before the Incas took it over and added their own Temple of the Sun on the highest hill. What you walk through is a city of sun-dried adobe pyramids, ramps and plazas on the edge of the desert, about 19 mi (31 km) south of central Lima.
Our favorite moment is the top of the Temple of the Sun, with the green Lurín Valley on one side, the Pacific on the other and the Pachacamac islands offshore. The site museum keeps the wooden idol of Pachacamac, a carved post about 8 ft (2.3 m) tall with figures on every face. Look at the carving closely, because photos never show the detail.
The adobe walls are eroded and the color is mostly gone. Without a guide it reads as brown mounds. With one, it becomes a city with streets, temples and a pilgrim route.
One price, US$97 per person, shared service, with transport, a licensed guide and the site and museum visit. There is no hotel tier because you stay in your own Lima hotel. Groups who want their own departure get a quote through the free quote form.
Departures Tuesday to Sunday at 9:00 a.m. Pick your date and send the free quote form. We confirm the seats within the day.
A few days ahead is enough. If your only free day in Lima is a Monday, book the city tour instead.
Open a day to see the hours, the altitude and where you sleep. Times are the ones our guides actually keep.
Half day, back at your hotel the same day, high point about 660 ft (200 m)
Pickup in Miraflores, Barranco or San Isidro. The drive south runs along the Costa Verde and the Panamericana, about an hour depending on traffic.
The guided walk starts with the oldest part of the site and the temple where the oracle was consulted.
A short climb up the ramps to the Inca temple at the top of the site, and our favorite viewpoint of the day.
The Inca compound of the acllas, the women in service of the sanctuary.
The museum displays pieces from the Lima, Wari, Ychma and Inca periods and the wooden idol of Pachacamac.
Back at your hotel in time for a late lunch.
The road runs south from Miraflores along the coast to the Pachacamac sanctuary at the mouth of the Lurín Valley.

"I came to this agency by recommendation and, after traveling with them on two occasions, I can say that it was an excellent decision. I must highlight the professionalism of the guides, who made every tour very interesting and safe."
Everything we get asked about this package before people book.
About 19 mi (31 km) south of the historic center, in the Lurín district. From Miraflores the drive takes about an hour each way, longer at rush hour. The tour picks you up at 9:00 a.m. so you reach the site soon after it opens.
Pachacamac is a pre-Hispanic sanctuary on the central coast of Peru, dedicated to the creator god of the same name and visited by pilgrims for over a thousand years. Several coastal cultures built adobe temples there before the Incas added the Temple of the Sun.
Yes, if you are curious about Peru before the Incas and the Spanish. It is the big pre-Inca site within an hour of Lima and gives you context that Cusco does not. Skip it if you only have one half day in Lima and want the colonial center instead.
Yes. The wooden idol of Pachacamac is on display in the site museum, which reopened in 2016, and the tour includes the museum visit. The museum closes on Mondays, like the sanctuary.
No. You are back at your hotel around 1:30 p.m., in time for lunch in Miraflores or Barranco. Bring water and a snack for the site, since nothing is sold inside.
Shorter, longer, or a different route.
Four hours with a guide in Lima: the Miraflores clifftop, a look at Huaca Pucllana, then the colonial center and the San Francisco catacombs. US$97.
One long day from Lima: a boat around the Ballestas Islands, a pisco winery in Ica and dune buggies with sandboarding at Huacachina. About 17 hours door to door. US$207.
Two days from Lima: the Ballestas Islands and Huacachina dunes on day one, a night in Nazca, then the Nazca Lines overflight and the bus back. From US$307.
