Great tour of Pre-Inca Temple!

This was a great tour and learned so much about the Pre-Inca culture! The site is massive and highly recommended this tour to help you understand all the sites in the sanctuary. But to really make the trip memorable, request Mario! He was so knowledgeable and presented the information with such passion that you were captivated the entire time!

Great tour and tour guide

Our tour guide, Mario, was amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He provided not only knowledge about the Pachacamac site but also interesting history and other tidbits about Lima on the way to the site.
