Climb to the top of the top of the pyramid, which soars 72 feet (22 meters) towards the sky, for unique views over Miraflores and the Pacific Ocean. Artifacts like tools, ceramics, and textiles unearthed during excavations are housed in the museum, while a workshop illustrates ancient textile and ceramic making techniques. A small park grows plants specifically in the time of Lima Culture. Linger longer and have a meal at the spectacularly-sited restaurant that looks out over the ruins.
Private and small-group half-day tours visiting Huaca Pucllana include many Lima highlights such as Huaca Huallamarca, another Lima Culture pyramid in the San Isidro district, and the Larco Museum, which displays an extensive collection of pre-Columbian artifacts. Other tours journey through the downtown area (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) or include a three-course Peruvian fusion meal.
