Santa Anita

Among the places to learn about the indigenous culture in Peru is Santa Anita district. This district is also the economic backbone of tens of thousands of workers with Peru’s biggest market being located here. Here you find the Huaca Bellavista, a burial site for the pre-Hispanic culture and also served as the administrative center for the Huaca. Things to see are artifacts dating to the Inca period and mummies. The place also served as the burial site for Chinese as they could not be buried in cemeteries since they were not Christians. This is evident from the Chinese migrants’ graves found at the huacas.

Visit the Mercado Mayorista, a huge market where you can buy delicacies such as frogs, guinea pigs, unpronounceable fruits and vegetables and also tokuc (rotten potato drink). In the neighborhood of Ate the Arturo Jiménez Borja Museum – Puruchuco is worth a visit. You get to see the Puruchuco palace, artifacts and human remains from the Inca period. Many buses serve Santa Anita within the town and to the bordering districts. The district is a 20-minute ride from the Lima Airport (LIM) by road.
