Pachacamac site Museum

The Pachacamac complex spans 465 hectares along the Peruvian coast, featuring multiple temples, pyramids, and ceremonial structures built between the 5th and 16th centuries.

The site transformed from a small ceremonial center in the 5th century to a major religious complex, controlled successively by the Lima, Wari, Ychma, and Inca cultures.

The Temple of the Sun, Old Temple, Painted Temple, and Acllawasi showcase different architectural styles and religious practices of pre-Columbian Andean civilizations.

The museum opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, displaying 6,500 artifacts, with special guided tours available to explore less accessible areas of the archaeological site.

The Acllawasi structure, used for preparing women involved in Sun worship ceremonies, remains the only preserved example of its type in Peru.
