Huaca Pucclana
The archeological site Huaca Pucclana is situated In the middle of the upscale district of Miraflores.
The ruins are the remains of the pre-Inca Lima Culture from around 500 AD.
 
The walled complex has two sections, one is a 20 meters high piramid intended for ceremonial purposes, the other part for housing and administrative purposes.
 
The construction used adobe bricks that were placed vertically to minimize the impact of the frequent earthquakes.
 
Towards the back of the premises they have some flora and fauna from that time on display, including the peculiar Peruvian Hairless Dog.
 
We visited Huaca Pucclana in May 2008.
