Visit Mamacona - in the Pachacamac site

Favorite thing: The House of the Mamacona (Sun Virgins) is a bit apart from the main group of temples, near the entrance.
In the middle of the 20th century it (unfortunately) was reconstructed.
If the idéa of how the house was built is correct, it has been an impressing building and also living place for hundreds of the woman chosen for the Inca and the nobles.
Due to vandalism, you are only aloud to enter the Mamacona in company with a guide.
