On a day trip from Lima, it is easy to combine a visit to the ancient pre-Inca ruins of Pachacamac with a delicious lunch on the beach and a relaxing afternoon.
Once outside again, we walked past the Convent of the Sun Virgins and Acllawasi, both looking less authentic because of the heavy restoration. We continued along the gravel road up towards the Temple of the Sun, accompanied by several groups of school kids firmly under control of their teachers. This temple was actually added to the pilgrimage destination of Pachacamac later, by the Incas, on a natural hill overlooking the immediate surroundings and the Pacific. While it was supposedly brightly coloured during its era, it now has become a rubble under reconstruction with a colour matching that of the surrounding, sandy area. Actually, the reverence of Pachacamac was so wide spread, and the importance of his verdicts passed through the idol so ominous, that the Incas could only allow the cult to continue after they seized power.
