Huaca Pucllana Tours and Tickets

Q: What is Huaca Pucllana known for?

Huaca Pucllana is an archeological site that dates back to the 4th century. It’s a former ceremonial pyramid famous for the Wari mummies that were discovered there and the 1,000-year-old mummy excavated in 2023. The restaurant within the ruins serves sophisticated Peruvian cuisine.

Q: What do you see on a tour of Huaca Pucllana?

On a tour of Huaca Pucllana, you explore the seven levels of the staggered pyramid and delve into the 1,500-year-old history of the pre-Inca archeological site. Many Lima bike tours combine the ruins with the trendy neighborhoods of Barranco and Miraflores, and hop-on, hop-off bus tours of Lima stop outside the complex.

Q: Can I buy tickets for Huaca Pucllana on-site, or do I need to book them in advance?

You can buy tickets for Huaca Pucllana on-site; you don’t need to book in advance. If you’re visiting the site as part of a Lima sightseeing tour, your tickets are likely included. Your admission fee includes a tour of the complex in English or Spanish, departing at regular intervals throughout the day.

Q: How long does it take to explore Huaca Pucllana?

The guided tour of Huaca Pucllana takes around 45 minutes if you arrive at the exact departure time. Tours tend to depart on the hour, but the schedule is subject to change, so it’s worth contacting the attraction in advance to double-check if you’re pressed for time.

Q: What is the best time to visit Huaca Pucllana?

Huaca Pucllana is open from morning to late afternoon Wednesday through Monday—it’s closed on Tuesday. The site is exposed to full sun, so it’s best to avoid visiting during the hottest part of the day. If you do, take plenty of water and a sunhat.

Great start of our vacation!

Visitors expected to see Inca ruins in Peru, but there are so many older civilizations to discover. At times during our tour of the huacas I imagined I was in Egypt or Mesopotamia due to the style of the pyramids.

Fabulous start to our time in Miraflores & Barranco!

Gian Carlo was awesome! The bicycle tour of Miraflores & Barranco was one of the highlights of our trip to Peru. It was approximately a 10 kilometer ride which was broken up into small distances between informational snippets of the area. Gian Carlo was extremely personal and felt like a life-long friend. I would recommend this tour for a single or a whole family. It was a great way to get our bearings and plan the rest of our time there. Thank You Gian Carlo!
