Next, we will pass through Chorrillos, the name of this district was made in allusion to the streams of fresh underground water that flowed from the cliffs towards the side of the Agua Dulce beach, and for being a fishing village; for which it was officially called San Pedro de los Chorrillos. Later, we will visit the Pachacamac sanctuary, which for more than 2,200 years during the pre-Hispanic period, was the most important sanctuary on the coast. Its prestige is mainly due to its oracle, which was consulted by curacas and principal lords who came from all over ancient Peru on long pilgrimages that were part of a great Andean ritual.
