Huaca Pucllana and Huaca Huallamarca

The history of Lima can be traced back to long before its foundation by the Spanish in 1535. Evidence has survived in the form of huacas, truncated mud brick pyramids that now stand among modern buildings. 
 
Right in the heart of Miraflores and San Isidro, respectively, stand the imposing Huaca Pucllana and Huaca Huallamarca, which were built to serve as ceremonial and funerary centers by the ancient Lima culture. They were constructed from small adobe bricks and straw, and the remains of tombs, pottery and mummies have been excavated.
