Huaca Pucllana

In 1997, the lighting of Huaca Pucllana, one of the biggest pre-Columbian temples of the city, meant a significant contribution to recover Lima’s cultural past.

The Inca temple dates back to 400 AC, has 6 hectares of extension and is located at the residential district of Miraflores.

The history of Miraflores began 3,000 years ago when ancient dwellers settled at the edges of the Bajada de Baños, near its main oracle: Huaca Pucllana.

This patrimony which belongs to the city of Lima, was an important religious and administrative center of the city where some municipal activities were carried out.

The new lighting system permits a spectacular sight-seeing of the Huaca Pucllana and facilitates the visit of thousands of tourists, turning the Huaca into a new tourist attraction.
