One of the most remarkable structures is the Temple of the Sun Pyramid, a major ceremonial site that offers spectacular panoramic views. You will also observe remnants of the Inca underground aqueduct system, a testament to their advanced engineering skills.

Pachacámac was revered as a powerful oracle during both the Inca and pre-Inca periods and continues to hold spiritual significance for some local Indigenous communities even today. Its name comes from the Quechua language and means “creator of the world” or “creator of the home”, reflecting the deep religious importance of the site. Traditionally, people traveled to Pachacámac to thank the creator and honor nature, aligned with the Andean belief that humans are an integral part of the natural world.

Beyond its spiritual relevance, Pachacámac served as a center for advanced studies in astronomy, architecture, and ancestral rituals. It was a major ceremonial hub where grand festivities and ancient offerings were carried out in homage to the Andean deities.
