Pachacamac was a religious settlement outside of Lima, Peru that underwent several cultural invasions, though each successive culture still revered the god Pachacamac. According to the Wari people, Pachacamac created the land, time, and animated the world. For over 1200 years, this area was the most important religious sanctuary of the Peruvian coast. Nowadays the area protects more than 50 architectural structures, offers an on-site museum, and provides many trails to explore the ruins of temple pyramids and stone palaces.
