The Huaca San Borja is a great place to visit. This archeological zone is made up of truncated pyramids from adobe, made by the Ichma culture. The Huaca has a perimeter wall and a second wall inside within which there are enclosures, passageways, uneven floors and there is a hacienda house built on top. There are guided tours for visitors. The Huaca Limatambo is as old as the San Borja Huaca but for archeological studies and it is not open for the public. The Museo de la Nacion is also worth a visit. It has a remarkable presentation of the Peruvian man from the pre-Christian cultures. The Gran Teatro Nacional multi-purpose theater and hall has the latest technologies in acoustics and sound engineering. A visit here to the performing operas, ballets, and concerts makes a memorable experience.
