Pre-Hispanic sites and colonial buildings share the modern city. Pair a huaca or museum with the Historic Centre to see how Lima's past extends well beyond its Spanish foundation.

Why go

A huaca is a pre-Hispanic sacred or archaeological place, and Lima has such sites within and around the city. Huaca Pucllana offers that layer in Miraflores; Museo Larco and the national archaeology museum in Pueblo Libre give broader context. Compare them with the buildings around Plaza Mayor for a clearer sense of the different histories carried by the same metropolis.

Useful to know

  • Pair Huaca Pucllana with central Miraflores and the coast for a focused neighborhood visit.
  • Treat Museo Larco and the national archaeology museum as a separate Pueblo Libre outing.
