Walk through this fascinating archaeological site with your guide and discover its ancient temples, pyramidal structures, courtyards, and ceremonial areas. Visit highlights such as the Oracle of Pachacamac, the Acllahuasi or Palace of the Virgins of the Sun, the Painted Temple, and the Temple of the Sun. You will also visit the site museum to learn more about the history, beliefs, and daily life connected to this important center.
After exploring Pachacamac, continue to a traditional hacienda in the Lurín Valley for a buffet lunch and a cultural experience centered around the Peruvian Paso horse. Walk through the stables and learn about the history and distinctive characteristics of this elegant Peruvian breed.
Enjoy a lively presentation featuring Peruvian chalanes riding beautiful Paso horses to the rhythm of traditional music. You will also experience typical Peruvian dances and, if you wish, have the opportunity to take a horseback ride and enjoy the graceful movement of the Peruvian Paso horse.
