Huaca Pucllana, Archaeological site in Miraflores, Peru.
The Huaca Pucllana pyramid spans 500 meters in length, 100 meters in width, and reaches 22 meters in height, constructed with adobe bricks in seven platforms.
Between 200 and 700 AD, the Lima civilization built this ceremonial complex using a distinctive technique of placing adobe bricks vertically like books on a shelf.
The complex contains separate sections for religious ceremonies and administrative functions, with dedicated areas for marine offerings to deities of the Lima culture.
The archaeological site maintains regular guided tours in multiple languages, operating from Wednesday to Monday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM throughout the year.
Archaeologists discovered the intact tomb of the Señor de los Unkus, containing three adults with ceremonial masks and a sacrificed child from the Wari period.
