Built with thousands of adobe bricks, this archaeological site reflects the sophisticated organization of the ancient Lima culture. From the panoramic viewing area, you will learn about its ceremonial, administrative and religious functions.

This contrast between ancient architecture and the surrounding modern city makes Huaca Pucllana one of Lima’s most distinctive attractions.

The guided walk begins at Plaza Mayor, the heart of the colonial city. Here, you will admire some of Lima’s most important buildings, including the Government Palace, the Municipal Palace, the Archbishop’s Palace and Lima Cathedral.

Your guide will explain the foundation of Lima, its role during the Spanish colonial period and the architectural transformation of the city.

Lima Cathedral and Government Palace

Inside, you can admire cloisters, religious paintings, carved woodwork, traditional tiles and the famous historic library. The convent provides a fascinating introduction to religious life and art during the colonial period.

Colonial Catacombs
