Places to visit in Lima showcase primarily the architectural richness of the colonial era. During our visit to this beautiful city, we’ll enjoy: Huaca Pucllana: It’s an archaeological site belonging to the Lima culture, located in the Miraflores district. Under investigation and restoration since 1981, spearheaded by specialist Isabel Flores Espinoza, it’s now considered a prime tourist asset. Adobe material and some stone were used for its construction. Its structure features a 25-meter pyramid and an ensemble of courtyards, plazas, and enclosures. It includes an exhibition hall, tour circuit, and other attractions. Its expanse has diminished over time; previously undervalued historically, some smaller pyramids were destroyed for housing, roads, and parks.
