Tour Reviews
Super agradable el recorrido por la huaca y el tour guiado.
Las ruinas fueron encontradas hace no muchos años por casualidad. Lo que más me gustó es contemplar las construcciones más antiguas que la cultura inca, aún, en medio de la arquitectura moderna de Miraflores. No duden en llegar al punto mas alto del sitio para poder contemplar los alrededores.
Impresionante conocer lo que otras culturas hicieron y ola sabiduría que sus obras manifiestan, muy buen recorrido y gracias a que es con guia se aprende mucho sobre el tema, ventaja que estabamos hospedados a 2 cuadras!!!
Entrar en la Huaca Pucllana en introducirse en el tiempo de los Lima, una cultura que construyó un templo para adorar a sus dioses. La colección de objetos es pequeña, pero muy rica en símbolos. Maravilla como los antiguos Lima construyeron una pirámide a base de pequeños ladrillos dispuestos en forma de libros. La explicación de los guías es bastante completa y amable.
Me gusto mucho la visita guiada, está bien cuidado y los guias responden a todas tus preguntas y dudas. Fui muy informativo y me ayudo a conocer una parte de la historia que desconocia.
