Site Museum and Archaeological Sanctuary of Pachacamac

The Archaeological Sanctuary of Pachacamac is defined by its sprawling landscape of adobe pyramids, temples, and walled enclosures that rise from the Lurín Valley floor. For over a millennium, this site functioned as the central sanctuary of the Peruvian coast, drawing pilgrims from across the Andes who traveled here to consult an oracle housed within the complex. The name itself reflects its original purpose, derived from Quechua words meaning the creator or soul of the earth.
