| Sumario: | Pachacamac was one of the main and most respected deities of ancient Peru; the power of him was expressedin the summons to pilgrims, who attended his sacred space to manage their pleas. the sanctuaryde Pachacamac is located in front of the coast of the Pacific Ocean, in the department of Lima-Peru; inthe set of its monumental structures include, among others, the Old Temple, the Painted Temple and the Temple of the Sun.
