Three stars because it was a very small area that they were allowing people to see. We have been told that the part that has been closed is in construction. There is a small room with artifacts and a interactive panel that you can take pictures of yourself and send the photo to your email which I liked. The person at the desk was informed and employees were helpful.

Another archaeological site in central Lima. This site is smaller than Huaca Pucllana and you can explore the site without a guide. It takes about 15-20 minutes for the visit. This site is also older (originally built between 200 BC and 200 AD of handmade adobe shaped like corn grains. This pre-Colombian site was used by the Huallas tribes as an administrative and ceremonial center, including a cemetery, with 48 funérariums discovered during excavations in the 1940s. The site was reconstructed in the 1950s and varies slightly from the original design.

An interesting historical landmark right in the heart of the city. Worth a quick stop.

To walk on and amoungst ancient history like this is surreal, do yourself a favor and visit this breathtaking wonder when you visit Lima. You can take as little or as much time here as you need, our group was here for about an hour and a half and we felt like that was perfect for us, plus we visited the little museum by the entrance that has a few neat little excavated pieces from the general area. Informational plaques are scattered around the site in both Spanish and English. You are not allowed to take water with you because water is damaging to this site, being made of mud and all. A word of warning: Be VERY careful when walking up to the top of the pyramid and especially coming back down; the path is very sleek and one could slip very easily, and there's not much for handrails.

It's a great place to walk around and take pictures. It's an actual pyramid. You have to take a guided tours and they explained that back in the day, people use to ride bikes here. You can learn about the history of it. There is a restaurant right next to it. You can eat and relax after the tour. The ocean is within walking distance from here.
