Tour Reviews
Normalmente escuchamos que la huaca pucllana es un lugar arqueologico rodeado de modernidad, sin embargo al pasear alrededor de la huaca se aprecia una perfecto y extraña sensacion de un peru muy antiguo con un peru moderno lo cual es perfecto ya que se puede apreciar la construccion antigua y la construccion moderna en la cual podemos ver cual es el origen de las construcciones actulales y te hara sentir orgullos de poder tener esta huaca, en tan buen estado,
A los amantes de la cultura peruana es un buen lugar para visitar!, es cerca en la misma ciudad y con mucha historia , el recorrido es agradable y explican muy bien.
No es posible estar en Miraflores y no ir a visitarla. Ofrece un contraste entre la costumbre de sacrificios humanos de los Lima con los Moche y Chimú. Tambien nos da a pensar en el cuidado que le damos y le hemos dado a las ruinas, ya que ésta ha sido usada para carreras de cross.
Si estás en Miraflores y/o en San Isidro, ir a esta Huaca es un paseo obligado, hay un recorrido armado y se realiza con un instructor/guía que te va contando paso a paso la historia de esa ruina.
La Huaca Pucllana es un lugar mágico para visitar en Lima, los restos arqueológicos que son de adobe nos dejan ver parte de la cultura en los años 500 DC.,tienen una pequeña sala de exposición de huacos hallados en el lugar
