Worth it! - This is a worth it tour. Has many historical significant sites and also once you are at the top of the pyramid you have the most beautiful view.

A tour that is a hidden gem - A nice trip back in the past among a big site that remains to be discovered. A must-see and a well-organized tour. A little tip : ask your guide to go to the bathroom at the entrance of the site (where the ticket office is). There are no bathroom whatsoever all along the way and people were rushing to the toilet at the end of the tour. Now you know. ;-)

Pre Incan Archaeological Site and Museum - Very interesting visit to the partially excavated archaeological site of Pachacamac. The museum was particularly interesting and informative. Well worth a visit, including the views of the surrounding areas from the Temple of the Sun. Edwin was our tour guide and he was excellent!

Pachacamac for the history lover - Guide was Mila Campos, a great guide. we began with a short stop in the Barranca District then on to Pachacamac which is a huge mult-acre site. You begin a museum to view artifacts and tapestries, then you head out to see the ancient walls. At one point you see a step pyramid that had ramps leading from the ground to the top. Another section was an Incan Train, where one direction headed north towards Columbia and the other direction was south towards Chile. Then you go to another section on a hill and eventually you go up enough steps, turn a corner and there is the ocean. As you walk further you see an estate with its own bullring, and further on you overlook a polo field. If you love history, you will enjoy this tour.

An experience that you can not miss - If you want to know the history of pre Inca and after Inca you should take that tour! It is a private tour and the driver and the tour guide are very good! The tour guide knows pretty well the history! Everything was included and that is why it seems expensive but according to me it is worth it!
