Lurín District, Archaeological district with pre-Hispanic pyramids in Lima, Peru

The territory became an official district on January 2, 1857, maintaining its agricultural character within the Lurín River valley through generations.

The National Museum of Peru, established in 2021, presents collections of artifacts and historical objects that reflect the regional heritage.

The district contains the Pachacámac archaeological complex, where pyramidal temples and ancient dwellings reveal multiple pre-Hispanic civilizations.
