Pacha Kamaq (Quechua, "Creator of the World"; also Pacha Camac)
was the deity worshipped in the city of Pachacamac by the Ichma.
The temple of Pachacamac is an archaeological site 40 km southeast of Lima, Peru
in the Valley of the Lurín River. Most of the common buildings and temples were
built c. 800-1450 CE, shortly before the arrival and conquest by the Inca
Empire. To date, several pyramids have been uncovered; archaeologists have
identified at least 17 pyramids. Besides pyramids, the site had a cemetery and
multicolored fresco of fish from the Early Intermediate period (c. 200-600 CE).
The Inca maintained it as a religious shrine and allowed the Pachacamac priests
to continue functioning independently of the Inca priesthood. This included the
oracle, whom the Inca presumably consulted. The Inca built five additional
buildings, including a temple to the sun on the main square.

PROGRAM
ANCESTRAL SHRINES
Our tour will start at the Pucllana temple built in the IV century A.D., an
ancestral and ceremonial site dedicated to the local divinities.
PACHACAMAC
Guided tour of the splendid and vast archaeological citadel of Pachacamac,
the temple of the deity, Pachacamac, believed to be the creator of the
universe and a divinity adored by old Andean civilizations. A sacred and
ceremonial site dating back to the beginnings of Christianity where
thousands of pilgrims converged to pay tribute and consult the Pachacamac
oracle, who they believed could see the past, the future and people’s fate.
The site comprises pyramidal temples and enclosures built by successive
pre-Colombian civilizations and finally the Incas. Highlights include the
Temple of Pachacamac, the Sun God shrine, and the Palace of the Chosen Women
or Virgins of the Sun. At the site museum there is an idol of the deity,
Pachacamac, which couldn’t be seen by the profane, and was reserved for the
high priests who kept, revered and interpreted the divine oracle in the old
times. A sacred site, the temple was considered to be part of the planet’s
mystical axis.
BARRANCO AND VILLA MARSHLANDS
After a visit to Barranco, a neighborhood both traditional and bohemian, and
its well-known Bridge of Sighs, we will tour the beaches along the Green
Coast and the Friar’s Leap ledge over the ocean, the Ecological Reserve at
the Villa Marshlands, with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean along the
South Pan-American Highway.
