Huacas of Lima

Lima is the capital of Peru. Its name originates from the Incas, who referred to this region as Limaq. It was a densely populated area long before the Spanish arrived and as such Lima is full of archeological sites. There are many more than I’ve ever imagined. I mean I had no idea that any of these existed.

Here is a map showing some of these sites.
