Huaca Pucllana is located in the district of Miraflores. It’s a great adobe and clay pyramid built from seven staggered platforms. It served as an important ceremonial and administrative center for the advancement of the Lima Culture, a society that developed on the Peruvian Central Coast between the 8th and 12th Centuries before the Inca Civilization. This is, indeed, one of just many ancient monuments to explore. It is especially impressive as far as Peruvian ancient ruins, considering it is one of the oldest in Lima.

Huaca Huallamarca Archaeological Site is a pre-Hispanic construction in the shape of a truncated adobe pyramid, located in the middle of the residential area of San Isidro. It was built in 200 BC and its main original purpose was to serve as a place for worshipping for the tribes of the Lima culture. It became a cemetery in 300 AD, having burials corresponding to the Lima, Huaura (Tricolor-Geometric), Sicán, Chincha and Ychsma cultures.
