Pachacámac Archaeological Complex
Pachacámac: 31 km / 19 miles from Lima on the Pan-American Highway South (45 minutes by car). Site Museum. Visiting hours: Mon. – Sun. 9:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M. It was the most important pre-Inca ceremonial center on the Peruvian coast. The main building material was mud. Around the complex, there are palaces, plazas, and temples (some of them restored), the most important being the Temple of the Sun and the Acllahuasi, both built during the Inca reign (1440 A.D. – 1533 A.D.) and the best preserved parts of the area. You will find a site museum that displays pieces found during the excavation. (PromPeru)
