"Visiting the Huaca Pucllana Site Museum in Lima was such a highlight! This ancient pyramid dates back to around 500 AD and offers a fascinating glimpse into the Lima civilization. The guided tour was definitely worthwhile, as our guide shared incredible stories about the rituals and daily life of the people who lived here. **Pro tip**: Try to time your visit for sunset—the views of the pyramid against the colorful sky are stunning. There's also a great café on-site for a bite to eat afterward. It’s a perfect mix of history and culture!"

"An adobe and clay pyramid built with staggered platforms. It was used as part of ceremonial and administrative tasks of the Lima society, back in the years between 200 AD and 700 AD. On one side, you can see evidence of the deep pits where the offerings of marine life were made to favor the Gods, while the other while the other side of Huaca is more of an administrative area where the findings show huts made out of adobe."
