Huaca San Borja, Pre-Columbian archaeological site in San Borja, Lima, Peru.

The pyramidal structure of Huaca San Borja measures 50 meters long, 40 meters wide, and reaches a height of 6.5 meters at its highest point.

The Ichma culture built and inhabited this administrative and ceremonial center between 900 and 1470 AD, before the Inca Empire incorporated it into their domain.

Archaeological excavations at Huaca San Borja have revealed numerous artifacts that demonstrate the connection between religious practices and social organization in pre-Hispanic Peru.

The archaeological site is located at the intersection of Avenida Canada and Avenida de la Arqueologia, with guided tours available through the Municipality of San Borja.

The preservation of this structure within modern Lima demonstrates the successful integration of ancient architecture with contemporary urban development and infrastructure.
