Pachacamac: What to see in the surroundings?

What our travelers think about their stay

A pre-Inca site situated at 30km from Lima.

My suggestion

Despite what you may be told, you don't have to go on a guided tour or use a taxi. Public transport buses stop near to the site's entrance. It goes without saying that the journey by public transport takes longer!

Pachacamac is one of Peru's biggest archaeological sites. This impressive complex sits by the Pacific Ocean.

My suggestion

Being based in Lima, I often need to get away from the city's oppressive air. The site at Pachacamac is a perfect getaway, being only 40km south of the city.

Peru: our articles for your vacation

Huarez: a jewel nestled between snow-covered peaks

Huaraz is the perfect departure point for excursions into both the Cordillera Blanca and the Cordillera Negra. It's in the heights of the Sierra that you will truly discover all the fantastic features that the Ancash region has to offer.

In the heart of the Amazon rainforest: Iquitos and its floating shantytown

Arriving in Iquitos by air gives a foretaste of what awaits you in the dense jungle. From above, all you see is a thick forest that covers the land as far as the eye can see, where only the river and its tributaries stand out from an immense green carpet.

Pasco and Huancavélica: a voyage combining nature and tradition

Located between the Selva and the Cordillera of the Andes, the Huancavélica and Cerro Pasco region will put you under its spell, with its incredible landscapes, the welcoming nature of the local inhabitants and the old traditions that are still very much alive

Titicaca: An excursion to the highest navigable lake in the world

Having only just arrived at Puno we're drawn to Lake Titicaca! Nevertheless, it's a good idea to pay a visit to this old port town before setting off to discover the floating islands of the Urso or indeed, towards the calm and peaceful Amantani and Taquile.
