Huaca Huallamarca
An adobe pyramid tucked into the wealthy San Isidro district. It has been restored and can be climbed, and a small site museum makes it an easy stop along the way.
The pyramid was built from adobe bricks in the Lima culture period and later used as a burial ground by the Ichma people. Mummies and grave goods excavated here are displayed in the museum next door. The summit platform overlooks the modern high-rises nearby, a striking contrast between past and present. It is smaller than Huaca Pucllana and sees few visitors. Admission is about 5–10 soles, and it is closed on Mondays. It pairs well with a visit to El Olivar park nearby.
