Trip Details


Itinerary

  1. This tour can be organized in the morning or afternoon.

    The tour guide will pick you up at 9:00 am or 2:00 pm from your hotel. We suggest that you book your hotel in Miraflores making it about a 50-minute drive. Heavy traffic is common in Lima, and being in that part of the city will make it a shorter trip. On the way, you will pass famous districts of Lima, as your guide shares with you some interesting historic faqs.

    Once you arrive in Pachacamac, you will start your guided tour. Your guide will take you on a walking tour exploring this famous site which consists of palaces, pyramids, temples like the temple of the sun, and the Temple of Pachacamac. Acllawasi was a palace of the virgins, and the whole area was considered holy.

    These Precolumbian ruins are located in the Lurin Valley, which is South of Lima. This area has great weather and can be visited at any time of the year.

    On this tour, we will have the chance to visit one of the better districts of Lima, Barranco. Located here is “ El Puente de Los Suspiros” (sighs Bridge), El Salto del Fraile (Friar’s Cliff), and Los Pantanos de Villa ( Lima’s ecological reserve). You will enjoy the views of the Pacific Ocean.

    The tour lasts about 3 and a half hours and finishes with the transfer back to your hotel in Lima.

What do we do for our porters?


Alpaca Expeditions would not be where we are today without these hardworking men and women. We could not imagine a harder job and our team does it smiling. We do our best to thank them for their hard work and loyalty by doing as much as we can to make their lives and their families lives better. All our porters receive all their equipment for free from warm winter hats to proper hiking boots. They sleep in proper tents and are given warm sleeping bags for night. They enjoy the same food we serve our clients and all leftovers are donated to their families. We visit their villages with doctors and dentists, donate school supplies and sports equipment. And our favorite time of the year is when we bring a group of porters and their families to Machu Picchu to visit the ruins for the first time.
