Detailed Itinerary

The visit to this sanctuary is full of impressive landscapes, however the main thing is the Archaeological Center where we can find:

Pachacamac Sanctuary: This sanctuary bears his name in Quechua, which translated would mean Soul of the Earth. At one point his cult grew significantly since the devotion was broader and people required special preparation to be able to enter as fasts that could last many months, it was also forbidden to directly observe the priests who resided in this place, to ensure this these priests entered from behind.
We found different buildings and patios in the place, naturally only the high priests entered the largest temples, but the visitors of the town could observe and make their own sacrifices in the patios. It is known that the deity of Pachacamac was the center of all the religion of this region.
