Then the tour makes its way to Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Hispanic pyramid 25 meters high belonging to the Lima culture and built between 200 and 800 A.D. Located in the Miraflores district, here you can observe squares, ramps and stairways, plus rooms with objects that in the past were offered to the deities.



You will stop at the Main Square, located in front of the Presidential Palace, the Lima Municipality and the Archbishop's Palace, beautiful colonial buildings that are an important part of its identity.
