After pick-up, you travel for about 45 minutes through a changing landscape until arriving to what was for more than 1500 years the main sanctuary of the Andean coast, the archeological site of Pachacamac. First, you'll have a look at the modern Pachacamac museum with various artefacts of the different cultures that used to occupy this sanctuary. Then, you'll explore this immense archeological site, which consists of the remains of more than 50 temples and other buildings.
Afterwards, you'll head to a local community of artisans nearby. The first thing you'll do there is have lunch at the house of a local artisan family. On the menu is a great local experience and delicious homemade typical Peruvian lunch. After entertaining you at lunch with some of his many stories, our funny host will show you his ceramics workshop. He will also take you to workshops of his talented fellow artisans, who make other types of Peruvian handicrafts, such as rugs and textile.
