Tour Reviews
Sitio arqueológico en el cual es posible observar la cultura prehispánica que habitaba en lo que hoy es Lima. Con representaciones que dan cuenta de cómo vivían dichas comunidades es una gran oportunidad de hacer aprender un poco más de la cultura precolombina en el medio de la ciudad.
Es un enclavado muy bien conservado que se encuentra en medio de la modernidad, su construcción es de antes de los Incas y refleja la experticia que tenían en este tipo de construcciones. Interesante de conocer y para transportarse en el tiempo…historia pura.
Este lugar es un pasaje en el tiempo a las culturas Limeñas originales. Un centro religioso y administrativo desenterrado de las profundidades de un cerro en el medio de la ciudad. Imperdible.
Mi primera visita cultural en Perú fué ésta pequeña huaca (pirámide hecha de ladrillos de adobe) quedando impresionado de lo desconocido que es los pueblos pre-hispánicos.
Muy recomendable visitar si estás por Lima….
