In the middle of the modern neighbourhood of San Isidro, you can find a well-restored remainder of the old Hualla culture with a cosy museum, and good views from the upper platform.
When walking towards the Huaca Huallamarca pyramid, I visit another small room with artifacts on display, most remarkably various flutes in various shapes. Unfortunately, the room behind the entrance turns out to be completely empty. I learn that in the late 1950s, Dr. Arturo Jiménez Borja was asked to restore the ruins of a pyramid on this same spot, to save it from certain destruction in rapidly expanding and modernizing Lima. He did his job thoroughly, and the result can still be seen now. At the top of the pyramid, he found 52 tombs, and some of the items he found I just saw in the museum. The Huallas apparently also used pyramids to give a last resting place to their dead. The Incas never used this area, and the pyramid therefore was abandoned until its restoration. I walk up the wide lane leading directly to the upper platform of the multi-layered Huaca Huallamarca. Unfortunately, the other platforms cannot be visited, so I have to see the rooms (tombs?) from a distance. The flat top of the pyramid offers good views of the San Isidro neighbourhood on all sides. The inevitable question: how must the view have been in Hualla times?
