Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the private and the shared tour?
The route, the timings and the entrance tickets are the same. On the shared tour you travel alongside other guests and pay a fixed price per person. On the private tour the vehicle and the guide are just for your group, and the price per person drops as the group grows. Both options require a minimum of 2 travellers.
Is the entrance to the sanctuary included?
Yes, on both options. The Pachacamac entrance, the official bilingual guide, the transport with hotel pickup and drop-off and a bottle of water are already in the price. The visit covers the Site Museum, the Acllahuasi and the Pyramid with Ramp.
Can children join?
Yes. Infants aged 0–3 travel free, children aged 4–11 pay a reduced rate, and from age 12 the adult rate applies. The child rate is shown next to the adult rate in each option's price table.
Why is there no departure on Mondays?
The Pachacamac sanctuary closes on Mondays, so we do not run this tour that day. The calendar will not offer you a Monday. If Monday is your only free day, write to us and we will suggest another tour of Lima.
