Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Lima

The site evokes a spiritual and administrative center of the Lima culture (200 to 700 AD). The pyramids made of "adobitos" (the walls, similar to libraries, are built of "small books of adobe" spaced from each other, which gives them antiseismic properties) of 30 m height would be erected on bones of sacrificed women as well as on broken ceramic basins. The plants, trees and flowers are also the object of a reconstitution of the time, just like el perro peruano, typical Peruvian dog without hair... We also see llamas, alpacas and cuy in an enclosure. An interesting visit, especially that the site is well valued with a guide included in the price of the ticket. It's a pity that there is so often fog, because we would have a beautiful view on Lima from the top of the pyramid!

The night visits are a new way to enjoy the mystic touch of the site. You can't climb the highest of the pyramids but the site is beautifully lit.

Its restaurant (Tel +51 1 445 4042 - www.resthuacapucllana.com) is worth a visit. First of all, its location is unique and offers without doubt one of the most romantic panoramas of Peru. Secondly, the Peruvian cuisine, with a touch of "fusion nouvelle cuisine", is excellent! Count S/ 100 to the chart.

Other restaurants with terraces at the exit of the Huaca like the Bodega de la Trattoria or Gianfranco. You can also admire the site from outside on the terrace in this residential and affluent area.
