Pachacamac and Paso Horses

Between sacred ruins and living traditions

Starting at 10:00 am , we begin pickup from hotels in San Isidro, Miraflores, and Barranco . We leave the city behind and begin our journey south along the Pacific coast, heading for the Pachacamac Archaeological Sanctuary , one of the most important on the entire Andean coast.

Upon arrival, we first visit the Site Museum , where we’ll see original artifacts, ceramics, and textiles, and receive a detailed explanation of the Lima, Wari, Ychsma, and Inca cultures that inhabited this sacred site. Then, accompanied by our guide, we’ll tour the sanctuary’s main structures:

• The Acllahuasi , residence of women consecrated to the cult of the Sun.
• The Painted Temple , decorated with remains of ancient murals.
• The Temple of the Sun, majestic and situated on a hill overlooking the ocean.
• And of course , the Oracle of Pachacamac, the spiritual center that gave its name to the entire complex.

After this immersion in pre-Hispanic spirituality, we head to the heart of the Lurín Valley , where a traditional hacienda house awaits us , surrounded by gardens and stables.

Here, we’ll enjoy a buffet lunch featuring dishes representative of Creole cuisine. Then, the most festive part of our day begins: a show featuring Peruvian Paso horses , a breed unique in the world for its elegance, smoothness, and rhythm. We’ll watch the chalanes (traditional horsemen) harmoniously direct their horses while dancing to the rhythm of marineras , in a spectacle that unites tradition, music, and equestrian skill.

At the end, visitors who wish to do so can ride a Paso horse, guided by experts, as a special way to experience this tradition firsthand.

4:00 pm Return to hotels.
