Huaca Pucclana and More of Lima, Peru

I have been meaning to update this blog for the longest time.

(In part due to seeing Alex update his - just go to his photo blog to see where we have been more recently!)

This set of photos show the day back in November 2022 when we went to Huaca Pucllana, one of the oldest ruins of Peru! It’s older than Machu Picchu, and was constructed in 200AD. It’s conveniently located in Lima, and seeing how the city developed around it was cool.

It was also used as a site for the ritual of human sacrifice, and seeing the figures was kind of :|.

An interesting thing was how after the tour, you are greeted with a group of Peru’s well known animals! Llamas, alpacas, and the cuys! There were some coca plants, too.

We also walked around Lima and admired the local art around the city.
