If you have time it’s worth a stop

Pyramid built out of adobe brick that was discovered by accident. It is slowly being uncovered and is of historical significance. Take a tour...it’s very inexpensive and informative.

Worth a visit

We walked here from our hotel in 30 mins. It is a partially excavated site of the Lima tribe. A full pyramid and great guided tour included in the admission. It takes about an hour to go round.

Interesting History

The history of the area is interesting. Our guide did well in explaining everything. Be aware the path is very dusty do not wear your good shoes.

Well maintained ancient ruins in the city

A must see landmark ruins in Lima. Spectacular at night all lit up and stunning during the day. Dinner at the ruins was ok, but it was all about the ruins.

Very interesting attraction

This extraordinary site in Miraflores is a wonderful example of adobes. The guided tour around the site and small museum showed how the small bricks were made and showed what is left of the pyramid like structure. Pucilana was built between 600-700 AD by the...More
