Sept. 22, 2005 Pachakamaq, an archeological site, Inca culture site, built continuously between: 900-1522 00 A.D; Pachakamaq was an Inca idol, representing a cosmic vision of the Andean world of the 10th century. It is a sort of axis mundi. Let me back track a bit. The site, which is a most stunning site, is right outside of the city, Lima Peru. And it seems most visitors to Peru miss this site, but it is huge and most impressive. I’ve first seen it in 2002; it looks like a sacred adobe city, filled with temples, plazas; located in the Lurin Valley. According to legend, or myths, Pachacamac took Urpiwachak as wife and she was a goddess of birds and fish. And on the site a pyramid is built in her name, a ting smaller than the Temple. Pachacamac was said to have control of the earthquakes was an oracle to cure diseases and protector of the food. I took my son Cody with me on this trip, and my wife Rosa, and we walked around the compound, its rectangular shape, some 32,000 m2. The square is located in the lower part in front of the The Sun Temple, And they have a museum, and a place to eat there. Matter-of-fact, I purchased my handmade guitar there. All in all, it is an underrated site, and worth a visit if you have a half day to spare.
