Climb to the top as your local guide shares stories of the pre-Inca people who once lived and worshiped here. Visit the on-site museum, where artifacts and ceramics found in the pyramid are beautifully displayed. Then, continue to the world-renowned Larco Museum, ranked among the Top 25 Museums in the World by TripAdvisor. Wander through elegant galleries showcasing over 35,000 ancient pieces, including intricate ceramics, gold and silver ornaments, and the famous erotic art collection.

All right, I just think the visit to Huaca Huallacmarca, it was too much, if that time had been invested in the Larco Museum, it would have been much better
Pamela was a great guide but unfortunately the pyramid was closed due to a private event. Learned much about the ancient Peruvian civilization
Renzo was a great and informative guide. The driver navigated through Lima traffic expertly. Enjoyed it and it was a worthwhile way to spend time in Lima.
Great visit with our guide Renzo. He explained pyramids, parks, Inca society, climate, etc. He answered our many questions. Renzo and our driver were very friendly. Beautiful visit and great guide. Sandra and Jasmine of Canada
Huaca Huallamarca was closed, so the tour took me to Huaca Pucllana which I had been trying to book, but could not as a solo traveler- it was great. I loved the Larco Museo & made it to see Huaca Huallamarca on my own the next day! I loved all 3 places- highly recommended!!!
