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.
Even though we had to change from one minibus to the other several times, the connections from Lima were very smooth and we finally arrived at the entrance of Pachacamac without a problem. After buying our entrance ticket, we first proceeded to the tiny museum of Pachacamac. The idol of Pachacamac is prominently displayed in the very first room of the museum. This is a wooden totem-like tall artifact, with a double-sided face on top. It also has representations of animals like snakes and felines carved into it. Apparently, the idol functioned as an oracle in the pre-Incan times, and was feared so much that the Incas themselves used it once they had conquered the area. Furthermore, the museum contains all kinds of other finds of the area, including some amazingly well preserved coloured textiles.
