We are talking about destinations from a time before the Incas. One of these destinations is Pachacamac, the most important ceremonial center for the Wari culture and for the Incas.

This tour, being an 8-hour tour, also allows you to take a tour of the main points of the City of Kings, that is, Lima. This tour will take us through the main points where the colonial architecture that lies in the historic center of the Peruvian capital is demonstrated.
