Huaca Pucllana Site Museum on Postcard

"Huaca Pucllana, a restored centuries-old adobe ceremonial temple, has remarkably and defiantly sat right in the heart of Miraflores since 400 C.E. The temple complex includes a Wari (or Huari ) cemetery, where four preserved mummies were discovered in 2010, and a small museum housing artifacts, pottery and other excavated relics. It's especially atmospheric when illuminated at night, best seen from the on-site restaurant, an upscale and highly recommended spot for a memorable dinner."

Awesome visits to the museum We arrived right after the tour started so we were able to join the English one. They took us to several places around including the garden. We did not get to go to the very top but about midway. My kids loved it.

Did not expect an archeological site to be in a center of well-developed, beautiful neighborhood in Lima. It was as amazing as it sounds. As a foreigner I paid 30 soles for a ticket and they had an English-speaking guide to show us around (he was informative and hilarious). The tour wasn’t too long to be tired, nor too short it wasn’t worth the money. A surprising experience for me indeed.

Great historical place with Free English speaking local guide provided by the museum, take approx 1 hour to walk around. Quite hot here, please bring hat/cap and drinking water. Dusty from sand, better to have the mask or scarf to cover your nose. The guide has very good information , unfortunately, we can't record the video, only the photo that she allowed.

Hey, we’re Vicky and Malte! We visited this site earlier today and had a great experience. Entry costs just S/ 15 (around £3 / $4) and includes a guided tour lasting about an hour. The site is fascinating, showcasing the remarkable building structures and the process of brick-making. Our only critique is that the guide didn’t encourage questions, but overall, it was a very enjoyable visit!

Way better than expected! We had a wonderful tour and they offer tours in Spanish or English. It was very educational and we learned many facts about Lima. We also got to see their two hairless Peruvian dogs - thank you!! My only note is that they desperately need to improve their Guinea Pig enclosures. They are not suitable for adequate care and enrichment. 🐹 *No need to book or buy tickets in advance for a day time visits. You need to reserve for a night time visit.
