An ancient religious site built by the Lima civilization (200 AD and 700 AD), this complex comprises several pyramid-shaped constructions oriented to the sea, since this place was a ceremonial space dedicated to the adoration of the Moon and the Ocean. Huaca Pucllana which is also supposed to have served as an administrative center, has been undergoing archaeological investigation for more than 20 years, and attracts many visitors every day because of its site museum but also of its superb restaurant, located on site. So you may as well schedule a visit to the ruins and end it with a five-forks lunch or dinner, all in the same place.
