Huaca Pucllana Archaeological Complex




The Archaeological Complex "Huaca Pucllana" was an Administrative and Ceremonial Center of the Lima Culture, a society that developed at the Peruvian Central Coast between 200 AD and 700 AD.
Two important reasons inspired the group of sacred priests, who were the governing rulers at that time.  The first reason was their need to express their religious authority. The second reason was directly linked with the control of the hydrological resources stemmed from the water canal system of the Rimac River.

Huaca Pucllana is located in today's district of Miraflores and is one of the most important ancient monuments in Lima. Located right in the middle of a modern residential area it is resisting the urban growth and reminding the Limeños every day about their archaeological patrimony.
