The Site of Pachacamac

Pacha Kamaq ('Earth-Maker') was considered the creator god by the peoples who lived in Peru before the Inca conquest. He was taken into the Inca pantheon, but somewhat reluctantly, being seen mainly as an ineffective rival of Viracocha. The belief in the gods to obtain good crops and fertility in the cattle made the old residents of Pachacamac to carve stones in form of corn ("saramama"), potato ("papamama") or pepper ("uchumama"), those that then were buried with invocations to the sun and to the mother earth (Pachamama). These offerings are known with the name of conopas and they were found during the excavations carried out in the archaeological enclosure.

This Half Day ( 4 hours approx. ) excursion. A 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.
