Delightful important pre-Inka site worth three hours
These pre-Inka and Inka ruins are in good shape and as well-restored as any in Peru. The altitude is above 11,000 feet, so be advised. This is where the virgins were raised for human sacrifice. San Pedro grows wild. The main temple still shows some of its red paint that must have been dazzling in its prime. There is a piece of restored Inka road that will awe even the most jaded.

Pachacamac--go to learn about the oracle and the cultures...
Worthwhile visit to see Pachacamac, where for centuries the oracle presided over pre-Colombian ceremonies. Fun experience with excellent guide Milagros, who shared the knowlesge in both Spanish and English-- learned so much so quickly. Beautiful on site museum with rare ceramics , masks, etc... 4 & 1/2 stars
